About this event

The climate transition is stalling — not for lack of science, but for lack of connection.

Scientists, artists, organizers, policymakers, and investors are each doing essential work. But they rarely share a room, a language, or a theory of change. And the communities with the deepest stakes — Black, Indigenous, and other frontline communities — are the least resourced and least heard in the decisions that shape their futures.

Eco Afro Futures is the infrastructure built to change that.

Hosted at the Oakland Museum of California, the 2026 summit convenes people across sectors for a half-day of dialogue, exchange, and relationship-building grounded in Afrofuturism ecological knowledge. Three themes anchor the day:

Energy & Technology for Collective Power — community-centered climate tech that expands access and resilienceDemocracy as Climate Infrastructure — how governance and power-sharing shape environmental outcomesRegenerative & Cooperative Futures — economic systems that circulate wealth, restore land, and strengthen communities

EAF is a year-round initiative by Critical Ecology Lab — the only Black-led independent Earth science research institute in the United States. Our NSF-backed research measures the persistent ecological impacts of plantation slavery on forest carbon. This summit translates that science into action.

We believe that when you design for the most marginalized, you build solutions that work for everyone.

The opening session will be live-streamed so please sign-up even if you can't attend in-person and we will send out a link.
