The gap between climate action and climate reality remains huge. But it is not too late to act.
We have the knowledge, technology and capacity to recover from the pandemic to take a huge leap forward and begin to close the gap. The consequences of climate change are felt by the whole society as a whole.
“Caring for Climate 2021” online marathon aims to promote the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

A net zero economic recovery from COVID-19 will allow companies around the world to invest and innovate at the pace and scale necessary to improve economic recovery, create decent jobs, protect health, reduce emissions and improve resilience in the future. We salute company leaders who are not only committed to rebooting their own companies but demanding that world governments act in the light of better science and a better economy, which shows that smart climate policies will create more jobs and drive sustainable, inclusive economic growth.

Placing culture at the center of sustainable development policies is an essential contribution to the future of the world and a prerequisite for successful globalization processes that take into account the principles of cultural diversity. Caring for the Climate is a universal and ambitious agenda for sustainable development, a program of action for "peoples, formulated by peoples and in the interests of peoples".

Webinar
The ecological crisis is as critical as the climate crisis, but gets fewer headlines. We are in the midst of catastrophic loss of global biodiversity, ecosystems, and the millions of species with whom we share our planet and depend on for our survival. We are “burning the library of life” through changes in land and sea use, direct exploitation of organisms (e.g. hunting and fishing), climate change, pollution, and the spread of invasive species. So what can the creative community do to help stop these forces? This webinar looks at how the decisions we make in our organisations have an impact on ecosystems – and how we can move, urgently, towards their restoration. Featuring JB’s Chiara Badiali and Becky Hazlewood, and guest speaker George Collum, Learning Producer, Somerset House Trust.

The ultimate goal of all agreements related to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is to stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic (human-induced) impacts on the Earth's climate system. This level should be achieved in a time period sufficient for natural adaptation of ecosystems to climate change and ensuring further economic development on a sustainable basis.

Man ... imagined himself the undivided master of the Earth and immediately began to exploit it neglecting the fact that its size and physical resources are quite finite. The image of nature and climate has always been the most important in the spiritual life of society. Climatic factors determine the form of government and laws. The historical value of natural conditions changes over the centuries and at different stages of civilization. Man is gradually freed from the absolute power of the environment and as he develops, he begins to use many natural conditions.

Switching light-bulbs and ditching plastic straws alone will not help us to achieve the level of change we need to address climate and environmental breakdown. We need new models and system change based on environmental values and principles. The circular economy is one such model. It requires shifting from our current linear ‘take-make-use-dispose’ economic model, creating waste and toxic flows at each stage of the process, to a new model which designs waste and pollution out of the system, keeps products and materials in use for as long as possible and allows natural systems to regenerate.
