We only have what we give... Climate Action
Center for Climate Action (CCA) is a non-for-profit organization involved in climate governance, research and knowledge exchange for enhancing climate resilience through adaptation and mitigation initiatives at the local, national, regional and international levels. CCA provides a holistic approach to a fully integrated three-pronged solution that combines social, environmental and economic aspects for an environmental revolution whilst empowering communities to adapt to the reeling impacts of climate change as well providing guidance on people centered climate policies, plans and programmes at different levels.
There are many way to support Climate Action initiatives, the below are our main ways: –
1. Partner with Us
to grow strong and fight Climate Change together.
2. Fund our Programmes
To help us reach the poorest and most vulnerable members of the community.
3. Join our Advocacy Team
Be part of our advocacy causes towards Climate Change Mitigation.
4. Institutional Strengthening
to build a better institutions for climate mitigation and adaptation
The longer people wait to act on climate change, the more damaging its effects will become on the planet and people’s health.
If people fail to take action soon, more drastic and costly measures to prevent greenhouse gases from exceeding dangerous levels could be needed later.
The most recent National Climate Assessment found that global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions could avoid tens of thousands of deaths per year in the World by the end of the century, as well as billions of dollars in damages related to water shortages, wildfires, agricultural losses, flooding, and other impacts.
There are many actions that people can take now to help reduce the risk of climate change while also improving the natural environment, community infrastructure and transportation systems, and overall health.
People can reduce the risks of climate change by making choices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and by preparing for the changes expected in the future. Decisions that people make today will shape the world for decades and even centuries to come.
Communities can also prepare for the changes in the decades ahead by identifying and reducing their vulnerabilities and considering climate change risks in planning and development.
Such actions can ensure that the most vulnerable populations—such as young children, older adults, and people living in poverty—are protected from the health and safety threats of climate change.
The truth is there is not a hard and fast deadline on climate action vs. inaction. Some studies and articles suggest that unless we make significant progress towards decarbonization (reducing carbon from the atmosphere and replacing fossil fuels in our economies) by 2030, we may be facing catastrophic climate impacts that would overwhelm our communities and pose an existential threat to certain ecosystems. There is no definitive line of demarcation that we can protect against, instead it is a matter of minimizing the effects of climate change.
If we do not take further action to stop climate impacts we're already experiencing, the planet is likely to see global temperatures rise by 2-4 °C (3-7 °F) by the end of the century.
The wildlife we love and their habitat will be destroyed, leading to mass species extinction. Superstorms, drought, and heat waves would become increasingly common and more extreme, leading to major health crises and illness.
Agricultural production would plummet, likely leading to global food shortages and famine. Water supplies would disappear around the world, making some regions nearly inhabitable.
The good news is that climate change is not an impossible problem. We know what causes it and what to do to stop it. It will take courage, ambition and details beyond lofty announcements.
Reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is an ambitious goal, one that's going to require substantial effort across every sector of the economy.
We don't have a lot of time, but if we are prepared to act now, and act together, we can substantially reduce the rate of global warming, and prevent the worst impacts of climate change from coming to pass.
