Important News

February 4, 2026

Dear friends of Climate Generation,

For more than 20 years, Climate Generation has worked alongside educators, students, and communities to advance climate education, youth leadership, and climate justice. Together, we have helped seed a generation of climate leaders, many of whom are now teaching, organizing, legislating, and leading across Minnesota and beyond. That legacy is real, lasting, and deeply meaningful.

Today, we are writing to share difficult news. Due to unforeseen and rapidly changing circumstances, and amid a particularly challenging moment for the nonprofit sector and climate-focused organizations nationwide, Climate Generation’s Board of Directors has made the hard decision to begin winding down the organization’s operations.

This decision was not made lightly. It reflects a careful and urgent assessment of new information, the broader funding environment, and what it means to act responsibly and with integrity in this moment. We are committed to transparency and will continue to share information as it becomes available.

We know this news may bring disappointment, sadness, or questions. Climate Generation has always been about collective action and shared responsibility. That spirit continues now, even as this chapter comes to a close.

Thank you for being part of this community and for everything you have helped make possible over the past two decades.

With deep gratitude,
The Climate Generation Board of Directors
