Want to take some action on climate but unsure where to start? Here are some resources to make climate action easier!
Designed to help build hope and community through action, the following resources focus on actions you can do that can lead to systemic change. Primarily, this means asking our governments to take stronger action on climate change. But action can also be pressuring big companies to improve their sustainable practices, and taking power away from coal, oil and gas companies. Individual actions matter, but it is collective pressure on big systems that shapes our climate's future.
Use these resources on your own, with friends, or at one of our Climate Action Clubs.
Climate briefings and templatesEach of the climate briefings we've prepared includes background notes, suggested questions, and an email template. Politicians underestimate public support for climate action, and their ambition for bold policies suffers as a result. Get your MP working on the issues you care about. Emails and letters are taken seriously and counted. You don't have to be an expert - write what you feel. Explain why the issue matters to you and what you want your MP to do about it. |

Climate Conversation CardsHave a climate conversation over a game! Created by Project Planet, Climate for Change, and Dr. Blanche Verlie from the University of Sydney, this 54 card deck is both a conversation game and a standard playing deck. Each suit explores a different side of the climate experience: learning, feelings, solutions, and action. Use it as a tool for connecting, reflecting, and even laughing about the world we're trying to save together. All profits support Climate for Change and Project Planet. |

Connect with the climate movementThe more we build the capacity of the broader climate movement, the closer we come to meaningful climate action. We've created a list of other organisations who are also doing important work who you can get involved with or support. |
