Environmental Sustainability
Groups and individuals working address and reverse climate change. Meet in months with a 5th Monday, 7-9 PM at the PJC.
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.
The Agenda for Action (AFA) is a call to action for people throughout Sonoma County to come together to invest sustainably in protecting and supporting the wellbeing of the community, and specifically the community members who have been most impacted by an interlocking ecosystem of systemic inequities. The AFA aims to mobilize multi-stakeholder collaboration among governments, funders, public and private sectors, and other community partners to transform access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities, and to ensure people across Sonoma County have the resources to thrive and reach their full potential.

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.
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.
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.
