Question: What Are the Best Global Warming NGOs?
by Michael Graham Richard, Gatineau, Canada on 04. 3.06
Caterina Fake asked WorldChanging: "So, I am really worried about global warming and I want to know which non-profit would be best for me to contribute funds to address the issue (and I figured you'd know)." Alex Steffen replies: "in North America, it seems to be the local and regional groups which are both doing the most inspiring work and most need the funds. For instance, the Northwest's leading climate NGO, Climate Solutions, is doing great work not only on educating the public but on getting nuts-and-bolts reforms to favor wind farms, biofuels and smart grids. Also, it looks like these local/regional groups are increasingly cohering into a networked movement to create national change in the U.S. and Canada." But he then redirects the question to WorldChanging's readers and asks for recommendations. We would like to do the same and ask you which are your favorite Global Warming non-governmental organizations (NGO)? You can answer in the comments here, or on ::WorldChanging.
As A follow up, I am looking for employmednt with a company that is working for sustainable development, Any suggestions?
Indeed, most of the best work is done at local level. In particular because it's easier for NGOs to work on national climate policies.
Examples of these coalitions (cannot call them 'movements' yet), can be the Climate Action Network, A worldwide network of over 340 NGOs, the Climate Justice initiative, the UK Stop Climate Chaos coalition, and the Dutch Hier project.
There are more of these around and usually transcend the individual NGO campaign work.
Indymedia Climate has also a directory of organisations working on Climate Justice.
alex's suggestion of climate solutions is bang-on. Rhys Roth is amazing!!!
We are interested in doing something for saving the earth from the burning problem of GLOBAL WARMING. In this case we want help from the NGOs who are already working in this project. Please help us to save the earth. We are related to very undeveloped rural area where no NGOs are available who are working on Global warming as a result huge amount of deforestration has already taken place in this area. For this cause we want to stand against it and we want to aware the people about GLOBAL WARMING and for this reason we want to form an NGO which one will make people aware. Please Give us support.
Thanks
