Climate Change is Real.
Even a single step can get us far.
INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION IS CRUCIAL TO CHANGE
There are a lot of things we can do as an individual. To those who have social media accounts, a simple hashtag movement can get us far; information (knowledge) is power. We can also be charitable by choosing some organizations and donate.
United Nation Climate Change
The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) was established in 1992 when countries adopted the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
With the subsequent adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and the Paris Agreement in 2015, Parties to these three agreements have progressively reaffirmed the secretariat’s role as the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change.
Since 1995, the secretariat is located in Bonn, Germany.
WHO began when our Constitution came into force on 7 April 1948 – a date we now celebrate every year as World Health Day. We are now more than 7000 people from more than 150 countries working in 150 country offices, in 6 regional offices and at our headquarters in Geneva.
READ MORE ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE
The mission of “Global Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet” is to provide the public with accurate and timely news and information about Earth’s changing climate, along with current data and visualizations, presented from the unique perspective of NASA, one of the world’s leading climate research agencies.
LIST OF ORGANIZATIONS YOU CAN GIVE DONATIONS TO
In order to protect nature we need to take on the big issues facing our planet.
We're facing up to challenges such as the urgent threat of climate change. We're also promoting sustainable use of resources, helping us all change the way we live and working with business and government to protect our planet for generations to come. Only then can we develop a world where people and wildlife thrive.

Is the climate of the whole Earth really changing?
Yes! Earth has been getting warmer—and fast.
​
Global climate is the average climate over the entire planet. And the reason scientists and folks like you are concerned is that Earth's global climate is changing. The planet is warming up fast—faster than at any time scientists know about from their studies of Earth's entire history.
Do we care if Earth is getting warmer?
Yes, we care! After all, Earth is our spaceship.
​
It carries us on a 583-million-mile cruise around the Sun every year. It even has its own "force field." Earth has a magnetic field that protects us from killer radiation and brutal solar wind. For its life-support system, Earth has all the air, water, and food we need.
Does what we do matter?
Everything that happens here affects something over there.
​
Earth has its own control system. The oceans, the land, the air, the plants and animals, and the energy from the Sun all affect each other to make everything work in harmony. Nothing changes in one place without changing something in another place. The overall effect gives us our global climate.
What is making Earth's climate warmer?
Scientists have discovered that humans are causing this warming.
But how do they know that? What are we doing that could cause the whole planet to get warmer? And how could warming happen so fast? What will happen to people and other living things if the planet keeps getting warmer? And what can we do to slow down or stop the warming?
What happens to all this dead plant and animal stuff? It turns into what we call fossil fuels: oil, coal, and natural gas. This is the stuff we now use to energize our world. We burn these carbon-rich materials in cars, trucks, planes, trains, power plants, heaters, speed boats, barbecues, and many other things that require energy.
Is carbon in the air good, bad, or just ugly??
-
CO2 in the atmosphere works to trap heat close to Earth. It helps Earth to hold on to some of the energy it gets from the Sun so the energy doesn't all leak back out into space. If it weren't for this greenhouse effect, Earth's oceans would be frozen solid. Earth would not be the beautiful blue and green planet of life that it is.
​
-
CO2 and other greenhouse gases are good—up to a point. But CO2 is so good at holding in heat from the Sun, that even a small increase in CO2 in the atmosphere can cause Earth to get even warmer.
So what if Earth gets a tiny bit warmer?
-
Global air temperatures near Earth's surface rose almost one and one-half degrees Fahrenheit in the last century. Eleven of the last 12 years have been the warmest on record. Earth has warmed twice as fast in the last 50 years as in the 50 years before that.
​
-
One and one-half degrees may not seem like much. But when we are talking about the average over the whole Earth, lots of things start to change.
