As the world continues to suffer from climate change, NGOs are becoming more important than ever. With NGOs focusing on the climate impacts around the globe, it is becoming more feasible to develop climate policy, encourage sustainable dialogue among citizens, support conservation of the environment, obtain climate research, and so much more!

How do our NGOs fit in with the Global Climate Pledge?

We are all working together towards one goal: mitigation of the climate crisis. Just as the Global Climate Pledge works towards climate action among the masses, so do our NGOs! Climate advocacy and action is not just important to the Global Climate Pledge, but to our NGOs as well. Through uniting communities and inspiring new ideas, innovations, activities, events, etc., NGOs and the Global Climate Pledge fit together like two peas in a pod!
