ORGANIZATIONS

The unifying foundation of these organizations is their climate change concern but their sites are very diverse – ranging from a focus on science to justice, from politics to economics, from businesses to cities committed to clean energy, from carbon trackers to animal extinction, and much more. Within these organizations lies the foundation for our knowledge about climate change. It is to them that we so often link information. They are so often the go-to source for the deeper dive, for the nuanced answer to the question, to the scientific information. Many have newsletters or blogs.

This is Zero Hour

Publisher:
We, the youth, believe that #thisisZeroHour to act on climate change. We cannot afford to wait any longer for adults to protect our right to the clean and safe environment, the natural resources we need to not just survive, but flourish.

While climate change is a phenomenon that will impact all of us —if it has not already—we believe that the impact of the climate crisis is profoundly unequal. Frontline communities across the globe and within the United States have been directly impacted by climate change to a degree greater than others. We believe, however, that those closest to the problem are also often closest to the solution. These communities have been actively working to create just solutions and transitions. Our goal is to center the unique wisdom, experience, and leadership of these communities in our efforts to make impactful change.
