GET OUT THE CLIMATE VOTE
The 2024 election will be as close as it will be game-changing, especially for the climate. JOIN THE CALL to learn how to reach swing-state friends, and send powerful, effective reminders about YOUR power in voting.
FIGHT THE FIBERS
Push back against ocean pollution! The Fighting Fibers Act of 2024 could make a huge impact by researching the effects of fibers on our water and adding microfiber filters to new washing machines. Let your Senators know you want cleaner oceans and URGE THEM TO CO-SPONSOR the Act today!
AMBLER MINING ROAD
The proposed Ambler mining road would cut through pristine parklands and sacred Alaska Native lands, threatening the Arctic caribou and impacting Native Tribes. The Bureau of Land Management has already received 135,000 comments in opposition, but more must be done. URGE CONGRESS to end this destruction in its tracks and preserve Alaska’s cultural and natural heritage!
ZOMBIE MINES
Coal is on the decline but its legacy remains. Abandoned coal mines, or 'zombie mines,' are polluting our water, endangering wildlife and drowning local economies. It's time for coal companies to clean up their mess. URGE OUR LAWMAKERS to support bills to ensure coal companies — not the people — are paying for mine clean-ups!
SAVE THE OKAVANGO
ReconAfrica — a Canadian oil and gas company — is threatening the pristine Okavango Delta as well as Namibia’s people, rights, and wildlife. STAND WITH THE LOCAL Kapinga Kamwalye Community Conservancy against the company's actions! (Kapinga Kamwalye Community Conservancy.)
PROFIT OVER PEOPLE
As Detroit refinery workers demand fair wages and safe conditions, Marathon Petroleum is stonewalling and risking nearby communities’ health by hiring untrained scab labor. With billions in profit, Marathon owes both its workers and local residents a safer, just deal. SEND A MESSAGE TO THE CEO telling them to come to the table NOW!

Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN

The buildings where we live and work weren’t designed for a rapidly changing climate. Extreme heat, drought, and wild temperature swings are taking a brutal toll on our infrastructure. Find out the cost here.

RUN AMOC

Experts from 15 countries are deeply concerned that a potential collapse of the Atlantic Ocean’s circulation has been “greatly underestimated.” Indications that the current that brings heat to the North Atlantic is slowing would be catastrophic.

I SPEAK FOR THE TREES

Our first global tree assessment has found a grim reality: more than a third of tree species are at risk of extinction. Trees are fundamental not only for ecosystem health but for the capture of carbon pollution. What is their biggest threat?

NOBODY WANTS THIS

The UN’s annual Emissions Gap Report was released this week with harrowing findings. Current carbon-cutting promises are just not being met, and any more delay to cut carbon emissions means more catastrophic impacts in the future.

HARVEST HACK

A California startup is betting on a radical idea: engineered bacteria that reduces the need for fertilizer, which results in heavy greenhouse gas emissions. Is this an innovative solution or will the unintended consequences outweigh the benefits?

iFARM

As dangerous climate conditions cause a labor shortage in agriculture, more farms are turning to automation, like driverless tractors. But many small farmers and producers aren’t convinced this is the future.

HIT RECORD

Planet-heating pollutants have increased more than 10% in two decades to reach a record high. This is faster than any other time in human history. And it wasn’t just from humanity’s stubborn burning of fossil fuels.

THE ROBIN HOOD EFFECT

A lot of people do not approve when climate protestors block roads or throw paint on a famous painting. But perhaps these radical actions actually help change minds.


NATURE'S COMEBACK

Nature can bounce back. After a century of pressure pushing them to near extinction, salmon have returned to their ancestral spawning grounds in Oregon. And it's all thanks to the removal of four Klamath River dams.

BEYOND THE BLACKOUT

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, a solar-powered solution is shining a light on the future of disaster relief. The Footprint Project is leading the charge in using renewable energy to rebuild communities.

SAVE THE WAVES

The largest Marine Protected Area in the Atlantic is being developed by the Azores, covering nearly 300,000 square kilometers around the Portuguese archipelago.

SPECIAL FORCES

The UK government has appointed its first ‘envoy for nature,’ a special representative for nature’s natural rights. Ruth Davis will help bring climate to the focus of policymakers to drive real change and protect planetary biodiversity.

PORT POWER

The Biden administration is investing nearly $3 billion in U.S. ports for climate-friendly upgrades to improve port infrastructure and reduce carbon pollution across more than 50 sites.

LASER FOCUS

CU Boulder researchers have developed a groundbreaking laser technology that can detect and prevent methane leaks in the oil and gas industry. This innovation is set to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

FLOATING THE FUTURE

Renewable energy developers have secured multiple leases for the Gulf of Maine, where deeper waters will allow the construction of the nation’s first floating offshore wind technology.

DARKER FUTURES

Climate change isn’t just fueling extreme weather, it’s also fueling political extremism. As authoritarian leaders rise to power around the globe, how does this connect to climate change, and how can it be thwarted?

VESTED INTEREST

Why is Azerbaijan, a country with an economy built on oil and gas exports, hosting COP29? With COP events already struggling to make real progress, this feels like a cruel joke. See the UN’s reasoning here.

RECYCLE REBRAND

Most of what we think is being recycled ends up in a landfill, and that’s the filthy truth. See how a new guide could be the solution to change the recycling game.

PROTECT OUR MOTHERS

Climate change has catastrophic impacts on maternal health. However, only about 22% of national climate action plans specifically lay out actions to help mothers and babies. Is your country one of them?

CATCH AND RELEASE

The United States has its first-ever carbon capture plant… and it’s already leaking. The leak actually occurred in March 2024, and is now causing everyone to ask “Why didn’t they say anything sooner?”

GOVERNOR GREEN

Washington’s Governor — Jay Inslee — is known as the “greenest governor” but as his final term comes to a close he’s fighting to keep the state’s most important climate law alive. See the details here.

FOLLOWING THE PLAYBOOK

What do Big Tobacco and Big Oil have in common? More than you might think. Marilyn Waite breaks down how the fossil fuel industry is using Big Tobacco’s dirty tactics to keep itself afloat.

HEDGING AGAINST US

Hedge Funds bet big against the green economy, but that bet could be more destructive than any political pushback over “woke” capitalism.
