Welcome! Are you ready to help address global warming and climate change or increase your ambition and help others take climate action? You are in the right place! Start by selecting a path below.
Addressing climate change requires us to change. The world is transitioning to a clean energy future but if we are to avoid the worst impacts of climate change we need to move a lot more quickly. This website gives you the tools and the information you need to empower and amplify your action and impact.
Let’s get this done. A better future awaits!
A global majority, beyond the vast majority of climate scientists and across the political spectrum, agrees that climate change is caused by greenhouse gases from human activity. We need to reduce greenhouse gases (primarily carbon dioxide and methane) as rapidly as possible to prevent more severe and long-term, irreversible damage to earth systems.
Greenhouse gases are causing extreme weather events, natural disasters, disruption to and loss of Biodiversity and instability of earth systems with adverse impacts to human life, quality of life and societies and economies. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, including catastrophic and irreversible damage to our planet, we need rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Most governments and economic sectors are on board with the goal of Net Zero 2050 and a global energy transition towards clean sources of electric energy. The energy transition is well underway as is the journey to regenerative and circular systems. We are heading towards a sustainable future, but without more government, business and citizen action we will not get there in time to avoid catastrophic impacts of climate change.
Individual climate action is critical to the global transition and to Canada’s success in meeting our climate goals and obligations. As citizens, transitioning to clean energy, regenerative and circular systems and driving systemic/societal change is critical to our success.
Overcome your barriers to action! Turn climate anxiety, helplessness, guilt, doubt and/or anger into motivation, hope, love and inspiration. Learn how to interpret and counter misinformation. Be inspired by those that are leading the way forward and join forces with them.
Want to reduce your carbon footprint? there is so much you can do! Learn about the areas of greenhouse gas emissions from Canadian households and the climate action you can take to reduce them. Take both personal and systemic action to help Canada transition to a more sustainable future. A sustainable future is a choice we have the luxury of making on behalf of many others that don’t.

It's a relief to come across any trend toward safety and sanity these days, especially a sharp and sustained trend. So, let’s take a little mental health break and look at the latest update on climate pollution out of the U.K.
The U.K.’s planet-heating emissions are now the lowest since 1872. That’s not a typo — we’re looking back to a time when Queen Victoria was on the throne, in the place where coal furnaces had fired the industrial revolution. The year 1872 lands smack in the middle of the baseline period that scientists use to measure carbon pollution “relative to the pre-industrial era.” Continue reading here.
Hidden high above the streets of Basel is an unappreciated environmental wonder: thousands of gardens perched on otherwise unused roofs. As a result of policies set decades ago, the city boasts some of the greenest rooftops in Europe – averaging more than five square metres (50 sq ft) per person in 2019, or about the size of a large balcony.
Billions of people will lose their livelihoods and economic output reduced by up to 34% if the Earth is allowed to warm by 3 degrees Celsius this century, but investing less than 2% of GDP now could eliminate most of those losses, a groundbreaking new report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and the University of Cambridge has found.
A marine rewilding initiative to restore an underwater kelp forest in West Sussex is celebrating “remarkable” results, a wildlife trust has said.
The project was launched after the implementation of a new bylaw prohibiting trawling in a 117 sq mile (302 sq km) coastal area between Shoreham-by-Sea and Selsey in March 2021. Continue reading here.
The vast majority of public companies are either retaining or ramping up their climate commitments, with companies found to be more than twice as likely to be increasing their emissions reduction goals than decelerating them, according to a new study released by professional services firm PwC, based on data from climate research provider and environmental disclosure platform CDP.
The study also found that the practice of setting climate goals is progressing down the value chain as companies increase engagement efforts, with smaller companies representing a growing proportion of those introducing new targets. Continue reading here.
Top Wall Street institutions are preparing for a severe future of global warming that blows past the temperature limits agreed to by more than 190 nations a decade ago, industry documents show.
