Welcome to the fight
Welcome to the fight
Climate change is destroying our world. By supporting the Climate Crisis Fund, you’re taking action to protect our one shared home – so welcome to the community that’s fighting for change.
This Hub is where you’ll find the latest updates on our vital climate projects around the world, as well as tips on other ways to take action. We hope it inspires you to keep fighting for our precious world.
Latest project updates
There are four core pillars to our Climate Crisis Fund that will help fight climate change – protecting the Amazon, conserving and building resilient polar regions, protecting and restoring natural habitats, and advocacy and calling for change. Here are examples of these pillars in action...
Updates
Preventing deforestation in the Amazon
The Amazon absorbs carbon from the atmosphere, which it stores in its plants and soil – a key tool in the fight against climate change. By equipping communities with drones and other equipment to monitor and protect their lands, we can help bring deforestation to a halt, and protect this vital carbon store – before the damage.
Protecting the Antarctic ocean
The polar regions help to regulate the world’s climate and are home to thousands of amazing species. But, sadly, they’re experiencing some of the most rapid impacts of climate change. To help tackle this, WWF is supporting studies that track the behaviour of Antarctic animals like humpback whales and penguins – so we can work out which parts of the region need better protection.
Restoring the Tanzanian forests
Last year, we set up Foresters of the Future in Tanzania – an initiative that involves working with young people on how to care for the forests they live in, and plant new trees to help them thrive. With our partners, we aim to plant around 150,000 trees to help restore forest habitats lost through deforestation.
Calling for change
We’re putting pressure on businesses and governments to help cut greenhouse gas emissions, limit the global average temperature rise to 1.5°C and build a greener future. Ahead of this year’s UN Climate Change Conference in November, we’re launching a series of powerful policy reports to highlight the carbon footprints of the biggest institutions in the UK – and show what they can do to drive change.
Will you keep fighting?
We must keep tackling the climate crisis – before the future of our world is devastated beyond repair. Give now and help fund our vital projects fighting climate change.
Support the Climate Crisis Fund now
