We’re speeding up diversity and inclusion within the environment sector to deliver climate justice now
The environment and conservation professions are amongst the least diverse in the UK. We created The RACE Report to highlight the need for greater representation in charities and funders working on environmental and conservation issues.
Racial diversity in the workplace:
The first step is transparency
Racial Action for the Climate Emergency is working with organisations to drive transparency that will create the impetus to go further and faster on diversity and inclusion.
Here's how
Data collection
Between April and September, we collect data from UK charities, trusts, and foundations working on environmental, climate, nature, or sustainability issues.
Analysis
We analyse the sector-wide dataset and publish The RACE Report - an annual summary of trends, gaps, and progress. We share this alongside individual transparency cards for larger organisations.
Action
We facilitate spaces for organisations to share their learnings on turning data into action. In sharing practical case studies that highlight what’s working well, we support collective EDI progress across the sector.
Understanding experiences
Alongside the annual report, we run bi-annual staff perception surveys to understand feelings of belonging and lived experiences within the sector. This ensures that the data reflects people, not just numbers.
