-
-
Structuring a regional adaptive plan for communal renewable energy
-
Planning renewable energy hubs, education programs and certification, and job training
-
Creating regional renewable energy access plans

Solution Houses are multidisciplinary working groups composed of representatives from each region in the Afrikan Diaspora finding policy and practical grassroots solutions to combat climate change and environmental racism, culminating in a comprehensive report.
In anthropology, the term “house” focuses on the central elements that are filiation, alliance, and descent. In Ballroom culture, houses are formed of multi-talented individuals organized matrilineally and without regard to blood lineage. Houses serve as networks of safety to protect trans and queer Black and Brown folks. Generation Green Solution Houses function as a space to:
-
Build strategic alliances between Diasporic and Indigenous Afrikan people in environmental business, education, and activism
-
Decentralize labor or contributions to the market as a qualifier of personhood and respectability
-
Identify policy and practical grassroots solutions to combat climate change and environmental racism
