THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT
NEWSLETTER & ACTION TOOLKIT
TAX POLLUTERS NOW
The war in Iran is taking thousands of lives while also causing oil and gas prices to surge — and fossil fuel companies are cashing in, while people struggle with rising bills. The richest countries with the biggest commercial oil and gas companies, the G7, must tax these polluters' profits now and make taxes permanent.

MASS STRIKE FOR CLIMATE
Face it, our democracy is becoming a kleptocracy, with the rich as the stars of the show. It doesn’t have to be this way. Join a Sunrise workshop to learn how to fight against corporate polluters, ICE and the authoritarianism that enables them both.

HALT ON PIPELINES
Gas pipelines are being proposed to help power AI data centers, but at the expense of our communities. Act now to stop the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission from building the dangerous Mississippi Crossing and SSE4 pipelines.

PLASTIC IS BURNING
Don't let the plastics industry fool you. A proposal they have before Congress on “advanced recycling” is nothing more than code for the expansion of plastic-burning facilities across the country. The technology is not effective and about as toxic and polluting as you can imagine. Tell lawmakers not to fall for it!

YOUTH4CLIMATE
Young people across the world are taking action against climate change, but youth-led campaigns make up less than one percent of climate funding. A new initiative by the UN Development Programme and the Italian government seeks to change that by connecting global youth leaders with training opportunities and up to $30,000 in funding. Submit your application by April 30.

NEWS AT FAULT?

Since 2021, global media coverage of climate change has dropped 38%. Who is to blame? Is it a lack of care for the planet, or the craziness of world news overshadowing the ongoing crisis?

COASTAL COLLAPSE

For a century, oil companies dredged canals through coastal wetlands and dumped toxic wastewater in Louisiana. They knew this would accelerate coastal collapse, but they did it anyway. Now, the Supreme Court is hearing a case against them.

Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
HOW HEATED

The world is definitely heating, but scientists disagree about exactly how much. Will we cross the 1.5 degree threshold, or have we already? See what experts think.

3
SPECIES SLOWDOWN

Scientists have seen a marked slowdown in the rate of species turnover. If new species don't replace the old ones, ecosystems may have less flexibility to respond to habitat loss and climate change.

2
SUPER SAVANNA

Brazil is home to the most biodiverse savanna in the world, and there’s a secret underground. Concentrated carbon known as “peat” is protected by groundwater tunnels and stable soil, but agricultural industries could threaten that fragile peace.

OVERLY OPTIMISTIC

There is a strange and persistent psychological distance between us and climate disaster, a new study reveals. If people think they’re safe from the effects of climate change, they’re less likely to take climate action.
