The world is facing the serious, urgent threat of climate breakdown.
Civil society is not moving as quickly as other sectors in responding to a genuine and significant threat to achieving its missions. We must act now and show ambitious and bold leadership, to ensure our sector contributes actively towards the global transition to net zero emissions.
Civil society seeks a safer and fairer world. To achieve any kind of social justice, we must urgently centre climate justice in our work too. We collectively have a responsibility to the future generations and our current work as a sector should not be carried out in ways that threaten the future of our planet. Without taking crucial and significant action, our world will simply not be safe or accessible in future years. Civil society has a role to play to make sure that the global transition to net zero is just, and that it does not cause further harm to the communities or places we work with.
Throughout the week, together with civil society leaders, we published content and hosted events across different platforms. Check it out.
Blogs and case studies
- Blogs by members, staff and sector experts about the climate crisis and what civil society has been responding to it.
- Case studies: This is in response to feedback that examples of good practice inspire leaders to act, and provide helpful information about where to start. We hope that this positive messaging will provide a range of ideas about how you can approach climate action. Although the series has started, we are keen to keep it going for as long as possible – so please fill out the form and send it directly to heloisa.righetto@acevo.org.uk. If you don’t have time to fill in the form, no problem – email Heloisa and she will arrange a 30-minute session to understand your actions and write up a case study for you. Once you have approved this, we will publish it as part of the blog series.
