Safekeeping our neighborhoods
LivZero is a place-based, participatory research firm that partners with community-based organizations to develop community-driven solutions to the climate crisis.
Investing in community
We’re committed to addressing the systemic barriers that prevent communities from being the decision-makers and story-tellers in policy and program development by providing them with the platform to lead and create community-scale solutions.
Participatory Research
We elevate community expertise by gathering and analyzing data that better examines and informs us where to invest our time and resources while combating the climate crisis.
Storytelling
We build platforms that enable resident leaders to tell their own stories of being impacted by environmental racism and their visions for the present and future.
Community Governance
We design engagement processes rooted in community organizing principles that support self-determination, change the narrative, and compound local efforts.
