GOAL 13 – CLIMATE ACTION

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

Climate change is a real and undeniable threat to our entire civilization. The effects are already visible and will be catastrophic unless we act now. Through education, innovation and adherence to our climate commitments, we can make the necessary changes to protect the planet. These changes also provide huge opportunities to modernize our infrastructure which will create new jobs and promote greater prosperity across the globe.

Things to do

Find a Goal 13 charity you want to support. Any donation, big or small, can make a difference!
Recycle paper, glass, plastic, metal and old electronics.
Compost. Composting food scraps can reduce climate impact while also recycling nutrients.
Choose reusable products. Use an eco-bag for shopping and a reusable water bottle or a cup to reduce your plastic waste.
Buy eco-friendly products. Read the packaging to see if products are produced in an eco-friendly way.
Bike, walk or take public transport. Save the car trips for when you’ve got a big group.
Consume less meat and become vegetarian for one day a week. The meat production industry has a huge impact on the environment.
Reduce your use of paper. Avoid printing and substitute it with electronic devices or carriers. Don’t shop for pets! Visit your local animal shelter and adopt an animal there.
