Climate Action

The climate crisis isn't in the future, it's here now. Pushing people deeper into poverty. Polluters must pay for the damage they've caused. So all of us can thrive.

What is Climate Justice?

In our unequal world, the rights of a few to profit from pollution is being protected while the rest of us pay the price.

The world-over, millions of us are speaking out about this injustice. We are calling for climate justice, led by those facing the worst of the climate crisis right now.
