19 Organizations Working to Limit Global Warming
The overwhelming evidence and global scientific consensus is that unwise human activity is altering the earth’s climate, destroying the biosphere and threatening the future of life on earth. Ignorance, apathy, greed and corporate-funded denialism remain serious obstacles to progress. These groups are working the change this.
The Climate Action Tracker is an independent scientific project that tracks government climate action and measures it against the globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C." A collaboration of two organizations, Climate Analytics and NewClimate Institute, the CAT has been providing this independent analysis to policymakers since 2009.
Climate Analytics is a global climate science and policy institute engaged around the world in driving and supporting climate action aligned to the 1.5°C warming limit. Given its funders such the World Bank, it’s reports must be read carefully. For example individual country contributions to global warming are compared without reference to per capital rates. This favors relatively high polluting, low population countries, such as the U.S.
To survive climate change, we must focus on the solutions that help reduce it as well as adapt to changes that are already happening. Daily Acts connects people and builds community through education, action, and policy change that address the climate crisis to create a livable future for all.
After the devastating U.S. bombings on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a group of atomic researchers, deeply concerned about the use of science for malice, created an organization committed to using science and technology to benefit humanity.
Discover why everyone would be vegetarian if slaughterhouses had glass walls.
Sachs is widely recognized for bold and effective strategies to address complex challenges including the escape from extreme poverty, the global battle against human-induced climate change, international debt and financial crises, national economic reforms, and the control of pandemic and epidemic diseases.
The Living on Shaky Ground handbook explains how to prepare for, survive, and recover from earthquakes and tsunamis. It also describes what you can do today to save lives, reduce injuries, and minimize damage. Lots more information on this website.
Hyper-local, Real-time air quality monitoring for everyone. PurpleAir sensors measure airborne particulate matter (PM). Particulate matter describes solid particles suspended in air; this includes dust, smoke, and other organic and inorganic particles.
Groups and individuals working address and reverse climate change. Meet in months with a 5th Monday, 7-9 PM at the PJC.
Sunrise is a youth movement to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. They are building an army of young people to make climate change an urgent priority across Imperial America, end the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on politics, and elect government servants who have the backbone to stand up for the health and wellbeing of all people.

Since 2001, The Climate Center has been a leader in making climate solutions a reality in California at speed and scale. They are a think-tank, do-tank working to turn bold ideas into action for a climate-safe future.
The Climate Clock adds the dimension of measurement to the climate crisis debate. As well-funded fossil fuel propagandists obfuscate, the clock inexorably ticks. We now have less than five years to make drastic common sense changes before the earth’s atmosphere warms more than 1.5°C over the era of pre-industrial foolishness.
The science is clear: to avert the worst impacts of climate change and preserve a liveable planet, global warming needs to be limited as much as possible and as a matter of urgency. (IPCC)
Climate Change is one of the defining issues of our time and we are at a pivotal moment. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Taking decisive action today will make adapting to these impacts in the future more effective and less costly.
The WMO is the United Nations system's authoritative voice on the state and behavior of the Earth's atmosphere, its interaction with the land and oceans, the weather and climate it produces and the resulting distribution of water resources.
