PRESS RELEASE: Browning the Green Space adds thirty-five Clean Energy and Climate Organizations to Inaugural Coalition Membership
November 14, 2022, BOSTON, MA – Browning the Green Space (BGS), the nonprofit coalition driving diversity, equity and inclusion in clean energy and climatetech, today announced the addition of 35 new organizations to their coalition. As members of the BGS coalition, the organizations have committed to move from discussion to action towards building a culture of inclusion within their organizations. The coalition members represent a cross-sector coalition of clean energy and climate companies, non-profits, venture capital firms, and grassroots organizations in the Northeast.
Through its coalition membership program, BGS is building an accountable community for learning and growth in the clean energy and climate industry. BGS will support coalition members through community building, education and support resources, and accountability and visibility on their diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) pledge commitments.
“A just energy transition for our communities requires a comprehensive systems approach to workforce development in the clean energy and climate industry,” said Kerry Bowie, Executive Director and President of Browning the Green Space. “Our coalition membership initiative tackles this by addressing the barriers that exist within organizations for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and people of color so that they can both access and thrive in clean energy careers.”
The DEIJ Pledge each organization signed includes commitments to take responsibility as leaders, support personal development on conscious inclusion, prioritize improvement and encourage courageous conversations, establish transparent and just hiring and compensation practices, focus on retention and career advancement, create a culture of belonging, and engage in accountability and evaluation.
The following founding coalition members pledged to advance DEIJ within their organizations in support of a just energy transition for Black and Brown communities.

My family calendar has quite a few important dates, and I sometimes struggle to prepare greetings in advance for all of them. This time, I started exploring Special Days Wishes to get inspiration for different occasions instead of sending hurried messages at the last minute. I liked the idea of keeping greetings suitable for each celebration, whether the tone needs to be cheerful, respectful, or encouraging. A little preparation makes sharing good wishes easier and helps keep important moments from passing unnoticed.
This BGS coalition expansion is encouraging because DEIJ commitments only matter when they turn into accountability structures, not just public statements. The cross-sector mix—companies, nonprofits, VCs, and grassroots groups—could create real pressure for transparent workforce pipelines and community benefits. I’d be curious how BGS measures progress beyond membership pledges. On a lighter note, I sometimes take a short mental reset between climate briefings with browser horror games; if you need a no-download break, https://horrorgameshub.com has options like Granny and FNAF. Still, the serious takeaway is that inclusive clean energy transitions need sustained follow-through.
It’s encouraging to see BGS move from discussion to accountable action, especially with a cross-sector coalition that includes nonprofits, VC firms, and grassroots groups. DEIJ progress in clean energy needs measurable follow-through, shared learning, and visible commitments—not just one-off statements. The focus on education, community building, and accountability is exactly what makes coalition membership credible. On a related note about transparent scoring, I’ve used RNGdle rarest number for checking exact EP, badges, rarity tier, and percentile from official tables rather than estimates.
The BGS coalition announcement is a useful reminder that DEIJ commitments need accountability, not just statements. The systems approach to workforce development stands out, especially for grassroots groups that often lack time and resources. I’d like to see more detail on how members will measure progress and share lessons.
