Take the Pledge

The recently released report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that the world has just 12 years before we reach an irreversible tipping point of climate disaster. In order to avoid warming the planet by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius and to stop the most catastrophic effects of climate change, we need "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society." ​ With the way things are currently going, you may be feeling hopeless and helpless about the fate of our world, but you are not alone. In fact, millions of people want to act to ensure a liveable world free from climate change but don't know what to do about it. ​ The truth is YOU have the power to fight climate change with everything decision you make. Things like taking short showers and recycling are good steps, but these alone are not enough. There are much more important and impactful actions that each of us can and must take. We all need to do everything in our power to fix this problem. ​ We are building an alliance of millions of people who are committed to doing as much as possible to stop climate change. The more people who pledge to take the following 5 most impactful actions, the more our collective impact and the better our world's future will be. This is not about being perfect, but about each of us maximizing our personal impact in the fight against climate change to ensure a liveable planet for all people. ​ Join us and take the pledge to go "all in" to save the world! ​ ​

5. Encourage others, including family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, employers, companies, politicians, governments, schools, and organizations to do more to combat climate change. ​

Why is this important?

One person can't stop climate change on their own. We need to multiply our personal impact by helping others to increase theirs. Importantly, large steps towards solving this problem can come from policy changes in governments (at the city, state, national, and international levels), companies, and institutions, and these are necessary in order to create enough reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions.
