Climate Change
Climate change is a problem that is affecting people and the environment. Greater energy efficiency and new technologies hold promise for reducing greenhouse gases and solving this global challenge.
The Earth's climate has changed many times during the planet's history, with events ranging from ice ages to long periods of warmth. Historically, natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the Earth's orbit, and the amount of energy released from the Sun have affected the Earth's climate.

Beginning late in the 18th century, human activities associated with the Industrial Revolution have also changed the composition of the atmosphere and therefore very likely are influencing the Earth's climate. Climate change is already affecting the world in negative ways. To prevent the worst effects of global warming and the human suffering it will cause, the U.S. and other countries must reduce greenhouse gas emissions, help transition developing countries to low-carbon economies and help the world’s most vulnerable communities adapt to the inevitable impacts of climate change.
What you can do

Climate change is a hung challenge for the entire planet, and is putting our life on earth in peril. But there is still time to build a greener, safer world, and the solutions to tackle it are available today; and more people, businesses, investors and governments endorse these solutions, reaping the benefits of new lifestyles, smart investments and climate-friendly policies.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s website provides information on climate change from changing light bulbs to changing laws for communities, individuals, businesses, states, localities and governments to effectively address climate change.
You can start by assessing your own contribution to the problem, by using EPA's Household Emissions Calculator to estimate your household's annual emissions.

Once you know about how much you emit, you use the tool to see how simple steps you take at home, at the office, on the road, and at school can reduce your emissions.

Moving People to Act Individuals and communities must have a strong voice in their future, so we support activities that help build a critical mass of new community stakeholders engaged as problem solvers. Citizens of all ages and backgrounds are seeking new ways to engage in and promote social change. To tap into both energy and commitment, innovative groups are using effective methods of dialogue and deliberation, new models of organizing community and technology and new media to galvanize support around important community issues. These tools give organizations a powerful way to bring diverse voices to the table, move people to action, keep them engaged and build collective action and collaborative community problem solving. EAA collaborates with 350.org and tcktcktck to raise awareness on climate change and tackle these issues.

Be a part of 350 movement!
	350.org works hard to organize in a new way—everywhere at once, using online tools to facilitate strategic offline action to strengthen the climate movement and catalyze transformation around the world. In 2011, there was a series of bold campaigns in strategic countries around the world. More than 2,000 "Moving Planet" clean-energy demonstrations took place on September 24th around the world in 175 countries. With the help of millions of people, 350.org will continue to create a wave a hard-hitting climate activism all over the world that can lead to real, lasting, large-scale change.
EAA partners with 350 NYC to create a grassroots movement in New York City. It’s time to take to the streets. Be part of something huge. It’s time to get moving on the climate crisis. To learn more about this amazing movement, please visit 350.org.

Join the Race to the Future!

Join tcktcktck in the race to a clean energy future!
TckTckTck is an unprecedented global alliance of over 270 non-profit organizations representing many millions of people from all walks of life, which are united by a desire to see a strong global deal on climate change. Our shared mission is to mobilize civil society and galvanize public support to ensure a safe climate future for people and nature, to promote the low-carbon transition of our economies, and to accelerate the adaptation efforts in communities already affected by climate change.

As a partner, EAA will raise our voices in a common call for a fair, ambitious and legally binding climate change treaty. We belive that if enough people from around the world take action, our leaders will have the courage to act.
