What is EarthX?
EarthX is an international nonprofit that brings people and organizations together to take action for a more sustainable future.
It began in 2011 as Earth Day Dallas, started by Trammell S. Crow, and grew into one of the largest environmental gatherings in the world. Each April in Dallas, leaders in energy, conservation, investment and policy meet across party lines, side by side with scientists, students, business owners, community groups and the people doing the work on the ground. Many projects have found their first partners there.

The Countdown to EarthX: one project a day
Every day until EarthX2027, one project from around the world is featured on 47817.org, rated with the 4-7-8-17 framework: the Four-Way Test, the 7 Areas of Focus, the 8 Pillars of Positive Peace and the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Many of these projects will be heard in Dallas.

The man who built the stage
EarthX began in 2011 as Earth Day Dallas, started by Trammell S. Crow with a simple idea: give the people doing the work a place to be heard. On November 6, 2026, he turned 75, and friends around the world are writing a book of thanks for his 76th birthday.
One Planet. One Mission. See you in Dallas.
