Ready to take citizen climate action but not sure where to begin? It can feel overwhelming, especially on immense issues like climate change.

While everyone's approach may differ, there are a few key steps every climate-conscious citizen can take to make a difference.

"A new report, commissioned by the International Chamber of Commerce, estimates that climate-related extreme weather events have cost the global economy more than $2 trillion over the past decade." Despite what the incoming administration in the U.S. might say, climate change-related extreme weather events will continue to threaten people and the planet.

Love this take from our Senior Policy Advisor Daniel Jasper on why we cant simply walk away from climate and policy negotiations like #cop29 Please reach out if you would like to get in touch with Dan in Baku.

I always remember getting the advice that "hope is not a strategy." My colleagues and I at Project Drawdown take participation in events like #COP29 very seriously, scrutinizing whether our involvement will be worth it. I would be lying if I said I wasn't thinking deeply about whether it was really worth it to attend this year, even as I was boarding the plane. I mean, here we are again, where climate denial will once again be rife in the US government and policy will likely be hostile to #climateaction. Papua New Guinea refused to attend COP29 in basically a vote of no confidence for the only venue for global climate negotiations, and, once again, we have oil and gas deals being made on the sidelines of the world's major climate conference. But at the end of the day, walking away and dismissing climate negotiations and policy only cedes that space further to groups like fossil fuel polluters and Big Ag. We cannot simply walk away and expect things to get better. Now is the exact time to get involved, to raise your voice, and speak up. If we disengage now, we become complicit in whatever follows. Now that I'm here, I've never been more proud to represent science and sanity in an anti-science and insane moment. I'm incredibly proud to represent my colleagues and stand by Indigenous Groups and Environmental NGOs calling for justice and action. Take care of yourself, and when you're ready: stand up ?? fight back ?? !!!
