Decarbonization justice is not just an environmental issue

— it’s a Midwest survival issue.

Across our region, families are struggling with rising energy bills, aging housing, unhealthy indoor air, and the growing costs of climate‑driven disasters. Meanwhile, utilities and developers continue to make decisions that shape our energy future without the people most affected at the table.

Your donation to the Midwest Building Decarbonization Coalition changes that.

MWBDC brings together diverse communities across race, class, and state lines to build a shared understanding of how building emissions impact daily life — and what we can do about it. We equip residents, organizers, and sector leaders with the tools, training, and support they need to advocate for clean, affordable, healthy buildings in every Midwest neighborhood.
