Climate change isn’t a distant threat—it is happening now. The past decade has been hotter than any other time in recorded history.
The impacts of climate change include more extreme weather and natural disasters, chronic drought & economic instability. To match the urgency of this crisis, we're deploying innovative solutions that maximize nature's ability to fight climate change while bolstering resilience for our most precious ecosystems and vulnerable communities. Together, we can halt the worst impacts and shape a better 2030 and beyond.
