However, there is much less research on how the strategies are being implemented and how effective they are.This resource is a 3-part series of guided workshops to analyze research and data collected by Green. 2.0 to consider the effectiveness of DEI strategies at environmental NGOs and Foundations. It can be facilitated by a DEI leader for an organization or for the board as a part of the continued learning.

White Supremacy Culture & Professionalism
This offering is meant to identify behaviors and mindsets that have developed from white supremacist culture that many of us exhibit regardless of our different identities, because we all exist in this culture together and are impacted by it. However, the impact disproportionately affects Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) in a harmful way that often has long-term consequences both personally and professionally.
