350.org

350.org is building a global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis. Our online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions are led from the bottom up by thousands of volunteer organizers in over 188 countries.

350 means climate safety. To preserve our planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 392 parts per million to below 350 ppm. But 350 is more than a number—it’s a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.

350.org works hard to organize in a new way—everywhere at once, using online tools to facilitate strategic offline action. We want to be a laboratory for the best ways to strengthen the climate movement and catalyze transformation around the world.

We strive for a world in which governments, corporations and civil society respect the collective rights of indigenous peoples to free, prior and informed consent over any activity affecting their territories and resources. We commit, in the spirit of partnership and mutual respect, to support our indigenous allies in their efforts to protect life, land, and culture in accordance with their aspirations and needs.

China Dialogue

China Dialogue is the world’s first fully bilingual website devoted to the environment. Our mission is to promote direct dialogue and the search for solutions to our shared environmental challenges. China Dialogue is an independent, non-profit organisation based in London, Beijing and San Francisco.

China is growing fast and, as it grows, it is faced with urgent environmental challenges. Environmental costs may account for 10 per cent of China’s GDP and the effects of pollution, desertification and climate change are already beginning to be felt within China and outside her borders. Climate change, species loss, pollution, water scarcity and environment damage are not problems confined to one country: they are challenges that concern all the world’s citizens, but the rise of China gives them a new urgency. Tackling these challenges will require a common effort and common understanding. Here at China Dialogue we aim to promote that common understanding.

Cicero

Cicero, A Trans National Advisory, is a sole proprietary, founded in 2004 by Oopali Operajita, one of India’s Senior Political and International Affairs Advisers, to foster understanding and partnerships between nations and cultures, and top international political and business leaders, with special focus on education, the environment, sustainable development and climate change, and women’s empowerment.

Their Environment, Sustainable Development and Women’s Empowerment division establishes sustainable development and climate change mitigation partnerships between international bodies on the environment and India; as well as establishes environment and climate change studies in India’s school and university curricula. They also help foundations and philanthropic organizations identify and connect with worthwhile and bona fide partners in India, with a proven track record, in the areas of sustainable development, poverty alleviation and women’s empowerment.

In 2007, Operajita created The Al Gore Sustainable Venture Competition, which now has a footprint of 60,000 of India’s brightest students. It brings new and sustainable technologies to market through entrepreneurship and its education partners are India’s legendary Indian Institutes of Technology.

Dogwood Initiative

Everything we do is about giving British Columbians ways to take back decision-making power over their land and water. Right now, 96 per cent of British Columbia’s land is owned by the people, but 88 per cent of that land is controlled by large timber, mining and oil companies. That stinks.

We believe British Columbians should have the right to make their own decisions about how the land they live on is used and we know that there is power in numbers. That’s why we work with more than 75,000 British Columbians, as well as First Nations, businesses and communities, to leverage political victories and find common sense solutions to some of B.C.’s most pressing problems.

Ecojustice

We come from a variety of backgrounds, yet share one common goal: to ensure the long-term protection and health of our rich and diverse environment.

Friends of Nature – 自然之友

Friends of Nature (FON) is the oldest environmental NGO in China. We have been working for over a decade to promote environmental awareness about China’s most pressing environmental problems. In particular, we have focused on protecting endangered species such as the Tibetan antelope and the snub-nosed monkey; environmental education through camps, field trips, and most importantly, teacher-training; and awareness-raising campaigns such as photo exhibitions and publications.

Though we have achieved some important victories for nature, possibly FON’s greatest achievement is helping to foster a growing network of grassroots environmental NGOs throughout China. We firmly believe that environmental education increases awareness, and awareness increases citizen participation. It is through the participation of all Chinese citizens that China can achieve the dream of an environmentally harmonious society.

Global Environmental Institute – 全球环境研究所

The Global Environmental Institute is a China-based non-profit, non-governmental organization that was established in Beijing in March 2004 and obtained a DUNS code number in 2009.

In addition to the lasting impact of our projects domestically, our strong emphasis on international cooperation on energy and the environment has allowed us to assume a leading role in improving China’s environmental impact abroad. GEI’s mission is to design and implement market-based models for solving environmental problems in order to achieve development that is economically, ecologically and socially sustainable. We envision a healthy and diverse world, a world in which society, the environment and the economy develop in harmony.

Project Dirt

Project Dirt was set up by a couple of mates, Mark and Nick, who wanted to make green living easier and more understandable. They wanted to facilitate sustainable activity taking place and to make learning more accessible. They also believe green living should be an upgrade, it should be fun – and it should be progressive.

Project Dirt was started on the current test site in Clapham Junction in April 2008, with 1 project and 5 members. The Project Dirt community has since grown to its current size through word of mouth.

The site provides individuals, community groups, companies, organisations and the government (mainly local authorities) a platform to come together and work on tangible green projects. It also allows people who want to be greener a means of learning through real world examples.

Rare

Rare and its partners in 50+ countries throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, India and Asia are committed to designing conservation programs that benefit both people and nature – ensuring that change is embraced and sustained.

While Rare sources solutions, it does not directly implement outreach at the local level. Changing behaviors requires a nuanced understanding of social and cultural norms and trusted messengers from within each community. Therefore, Rare trains local partners and supports them during all stages of implementing what’s known as a Pride Campaign.

A Pride Campaign inspires people to take pride in the species and habitats that make their communities unique, while also giving them alternatives to environmentally destructive behaviors.
