The Climate Crisis is a hot topic across the globe at the moment and that is because this really is our last chance to act now otherwise the future of our planet is not going to be the same ever again. As a charity, we work on over 90 projects across global communities and this project is to install education, awareness, systems and resources to ensure every project no matter the focus is also carbon responsible.

The concentration of carbon emissions produced by humans has doubled over the last 60 years, yet we continue to take a business-as-usual approach, in turn killing our people, wildlife, and habitat. Many of our projects around the world focus on immediate issues such as hunger, education and poverty and often projects seek the cheapest solutions such as open fires and cheap materials as they are uneducated in the issues of carbon emissions.

FACT: Global temperatures are rising and while you might like the heat this is a huge issue for everyone on earth and not one of us is immune. At the current rate, we are killing off species and essential resources that we need to survive. Human activity is producing greenhouse gas emissions at a record high, with no signs of slowing down. This really is our last chance to save ourselves. As we run international projects globally and engage communities our aim is to spend a little more educating and making these projects carbon-friendly or even neutral where possible. A gift to this project allows us to enhance our crucial work globally by protecting our planet.

We work closely with influential community members worldwide to provide the resources and education geared towards an eco-friendly way of operating and living. When projects such as feeding programs are supported we educate and provide safer and more carbon-neutral cooking stoves, community centres will be converted to renewable energy and for books we purchase for our schools, we will plant more trees.

Our long-term impact is to transition communities and businesses to become carbon-friendly and create a safe and protected future for our children. We will restore damaged ecosystems, and rainforests while renewing water supplies to combat climate change. Minimising the carbon outputs of businesses and helping them eco-friendly choices will greatly benefit their social responsibility, making them more appealing to the public. Together we can slow the negative impact down and help our planet to re-grow for our children’s future.

Why the Planet Can’t Wait for a “Return to Normal”

By Marissa | Global Lead (Volunteer)

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Let’s be honest: over the last couple of years, the climate crisis seems to have taken a backseat. While many of us have traded the daily office commute for more flexible schedules, the world is “back on the move” in a big way. Traffic is back to pre-pandemic levels, flights are fully booked, and our collective carbon footprint is climbing once again.

However, there is one thing that hasn’t returned to “normal”: climate awareness and funding.

The Missing Piece of the Recovery

We are seeing a worrying trend as our travel and consumption increase, the donations and efforts to offset that carbon have not kept pace. We cannot afford to treat the environment as a secondary priority. That is why Action Change is putting the climate back at the top of the map.

Our Strategy: 90 Projects, 15 Countries, 1 Goal

We believe that climate action isn’t just for the “educated and rich” it belongs to everyone. Our secret weapon is the Action Change network. We currently support over 90 grassroots projects in 15 different countries. These projects are on the front lines of poverty, education, and health, but they are also on the front lines of environmental change.

Our mission this year is to:

• Integrate Climate Strategy: We are working (funding dependent) to meet with our project leaders across the globe to build “Green Strategies.”

• Localized Solutions: Whether it’s helping a school in Zimbabwe transition to solar power or assisting a wildlife project in Australia with reforestation, we want every one of our 90 projects to operate in a way that protects the environment.

• Empowerment through Education: We are providing the tools and funding for grassroots leaders to tackle their immediate local issues (like hunger or animal rescue) without compromising the health of the planet.

We Are All in This Together

True climate resilience happens when the local community is empowered. By supporting this project, you aren’t just planting a tree or buying a solar panel; you are helping us build a global infrastructure of sustainable, grassroots organizations that can weather the storm of the climate crisis.

How You Can Help Put Climate Back on the Map:

• Offset Your Move: If you’ve started traveling again for business or pleasure, consider a donation to this project to help us green-light our grassroots strategies.

• Advocate: Share our mission. Remind your network that while the world has reopened, the planet still needs our help to stay healthy.

The climate doesn’t care about our busy schedules, but it does respond to our collective action. Let’s make sure that as we move forward, we take the environment with us.

With urgency and hope,
