Climate Action Day

On Saturday, October 24, thanks to more than a year of organization by 350.org, and others, citizens have assembled more than 4,000 extraordinary climate actions across nearly every country. Here we look at messages from just three of the many 350 ambassadors who support these actions.


Climate Action Ambassadors


Bianca Jagger

"Climate change is not an isolated environmental issue. It touches every part of our lives: peace, security, human rights, poverty, hunger, health, mass migration, and economics. If we are to preserve the planet for future generations we must reach 350 parts per million--the most important number on earth. Otherwise, we will reach the point of no return."

Archbishop Desmond Tutu

"Climate change is a reality. Life depends on a sustainable environment, with no world there can only be nothing,--no birds, no animals, no trees, no us. That's why getting involved in 350.org is so important--it's an effective way to take action to turn around the climate crisis."

Dr. James Hanson

"If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which life has adapted, paleoclimate evidence and ongoing climate change suggest that CO2 will need to be reduced from it's current 385ppm to at most 350ppm."
