kier blake (they/them) is a second-generation Jamaican, nonprofit co-founder, climate organizer and justice-oriented educator who is dedicated to disrupting the status quo in climate education.​

 

Their work to expand access to interdisciplinary, justice-centered climate education in New York’s K–12 schools started while teaching students in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, who were suffering climate-related, public health issues such as high rates of asthma and lack of access to nutritious food.

 

Realizing their own upbringing had been shaped by those same forces, kier’s goal is to prove the critical need for education on climate change as we work to build just, regenerative futures.
