Climate Action

Addressing the climate crisis to protect ecosystems and vulnerable communities

Take Action

The Climate Emergency

Human activities have increased Earth's temperature by 1.1°C since pre-industrial times, triggering cascading ecological disruptions.

Ecosystem Disruption

Climate change is altering ecosystems at unprecedented rates. Coral reefs are bleaching, forests are burning, and species are migrating poleward at 17 km per decade. The Arctic is warming four times faster than the global average, causing cascading effects worldwide.

Ocean acidification from absorbed CO2 has increased 30% since the Industrial Revolution, threatening marine food webs. Climate zones are shifting 3 meters per day, faster than many species can adapt.

"We are the first generation to feel the effect of climate change and the last generation who can do something about it." - Barack Obama

Key Climate Facts

1.1°C

Global temperature rise since 1880

420ppm

Atmospheric CO2 concentration (highest in 3M years)

50%

Climate Change Impacts on Ecosystems

Rising temperatures are destabilizing natural systems that have evolved over millennia.

Wildfires

The fire season has lengthened by 25% globally, with megafires becoming more frequent and intense.

Coral Bleaching

50% of the Great Barrier Reef has died since 2016 due to marine heatwaves.

Phenology Shifts

Spring events now occur 2-3 days earlier per decade, disrupting ecological synchrony.

Climate Change Timeline

Key milestones in climate science and projected future impacts if we fail to act.

1896

First Climate Prediction

Svante Arrhenius calculates that doubling CO2 could raise temperatures 5-6°C - remarkably close to modern estimates.

1958

Keeling Curve Begins

Charles David Keeling starts continuous CO2 measurements at Mauna Loa, documenting the steady rise in atmospheric carbon.

1988

IPCC Established

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is created to assess climate science for policymakers.

2023

Hottest Year on Record

Global temperatures reach 1.48°C above pre-industrial levels, with devastating climate impacts worldwide.

2030

Projected Tipping Point

Without drastic emissions cuts, we may trigger irreversible ice sheet collapse and Amazon dieback.

Climate Impacts Gallery

Visual evidence of climate change's devastating effects on ecosystems worldwide.

Glacial retreat

Drought

Zambia and the region have faced severe droughts over the past four years a clear impact of climate change.

Coral bleaching

Drying Wetlands.

Shifts in rainfall and rising temperatures are reducing water availability, threatening both drinking supplies and agricultural irrigation.

Wildfire destruction

Impacts on Wildlife

Climate change directly affects animals. Cattle numbers, for example, have dropped due to rising temperatures and scarce food and water.

Drought impacts

Melting Ice Polar

Melting polar ice both sea and land is a major effect of climate change, mainly caused by human-driven greenhouse gas emissions.

Coastal flooding

Hurricane

A hurricane is a powerful low-pressure system with swirling clouds and storms, fueled by warm tropical ocean waters.

Permafrost thaw
