About this project:
Early childhood is a critical period for development, wellbeing, and shaping relationships with the environment, yet it remains largely absent from climate resilience and environmental justice research. This project launches the Natural Start Alliance Research Network to build research infrastructure, convene interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners, and develop a shared research agenda. By connecting researchers, practitioners, and community partners, the network strengthens collaboration and positions early learning as essential to climate resilience and environmental justice solutions.
