    Description

    We fight for a world beyond fossil fuels.

    is building a global grassroots movement to solve the
    climate crisis. Our online campaigns, grassroots organising, and
    mass public actions are led from the bottom up by thousands of
    volunteer organisers in over 188 countries. Our strength comes from
    community, and the conviction that people are the most powerful
    agents of change. Our core belief is that the only way to achieve
    real climate justice is to strengthen, empower, and grow the
    climate movement. We work with people across the world to oppose
    those wrecking our climate and to fight for a sustainable
    future.

    Together, we have achieved extraordinary things, mobilising
    millions of people worldwide, winning campaigns to move trillions
    of dollars away from the fossil fuel industry, and stopping dirty
    coal, oil and gas plants and pipelines. As we turn 15, we are
    embarking on a new strategic direction. We identified that our
    strongest contribution to the climate movement is in the evolution
    of our work; leveraging our strength in grassroots organising,
    online campaigns, and mass public actions that bring the hyperlocal
    to the truly global, to campaign not only against the fossil fuel
    industry, but for the community-centred renewable energy solutions
    needed to achieve true climate and energy justice; and to do so in
    ways that are creative, collaborative, and rooted in care. We unite
    around the values elaborated here.
