Project Partners

You are here

The toolkit project is a collaboration of many partners throughout the Chicago Region, including Community Partners, Institutional Partners, and Technical Partners.

Community Partners

Community Partners are organizations in Pilsen, South Chicago, Bronzeville, and Forest Glen that developed and implemented local projects as part of the Chicago Community Climate Action Toolkit, with assistance from The Field Museum and Technical Partners. These partners used different climate action tools on this website in their projects—and in fact developed some of them during the course of their projects. Community Partners are available to help other organizations they work with figure out how to best use the climate action tools on this site to advance their work. Feel free to contact them using the emails and phone numbers provided on this page.
