Time for Climate Action
The recent COP26 climate talks on accelerating action towards the Paris agreement have left many questioning whether enough was done by our world leaders to help avoid the very worse impacts of climate change. A sentiment felt strongly by those who are most vulnerable, and on the frontline of the consequences. Countries revisited and strengthened their climate targets, albeit vaguely. Devastatingly, the climate finance goal remains unmet by the world's wealthiest nations. It seems that loopholes and 'COP' outs were the order of the day. Major coal producing countries have not yet committed to a phase out of the industry, there is still a huge need for fossil fuel divestment, and for the removal of fossil fuel subsides.
NGOs, youth groups, indigenous communities, scientists, universities, and activists became a united voice in the climate movement. 2022 is set to be a year of record public pressure and activism, from influential public figures such as David Attenborough, to the biggest climate movement yet, Fridays for Future. The momentum continues to grow - consider your part, and join the movement today.

Hot Topics
Hero of the Month
David Attenborough
Sir David Attenborough is the people's voice in the UNFCC and has also briefed the British government. He mentioned that government "can not be radical enough" on climate action and said that he feels society is going through a new transition on its views of morality, as it did with slavery, this time on climate change. That the question for the government, is how do they take the electorate with them? He highlights that every time we breathe we are dependant on nature and that never before have we been so powerful that we can crush nature without even realising it.
Featured Organisation of the Month
The Climate Reality Project
The non-profit organization was formed in 2006 by the American politician and environmentalist Al Gore. The Climate Reality Project is specialized on education on climate change, campaigns against climate change denial and building a global climate protection movement. In recent years it has attracted attention through numerous campaigns such as the I AM PRO SNOW campaign to draw attention to snow as a basis for leisure and work or the 24 Hours of Reality campaign with a focus on a specific region of the world.
