Residents, students, educators, artists, professionals, and community leaders are already making choices that support the environment, strengthen neighborhoods, and care for one another. The Cleveland Climate Week campaign brings those stories forward to be seen, shared, and built upon.

Each story reflects a different pathway into climate work. Some are rooted in education, others in creativity, policy, health, infrastructure, or community care. Together, they show that climate action is not one thing. It is a collective effort shaped by lived experience, culture, and place.

Climate Starts With Me invites people to recognize their role, share their story, and connect with others doing this work across the region.
