Organizations Fighting Climate Change: A quick guide

It took longer than expected, and arguably longer than what we wished for, but climate change is a growing concern that has been spreading to different sectors of society. The topic is reaching more people every day (let us not discuss at what speed rate), shining light on the growing risks of climate change. With information comes knowledge, which brings awareness and catalyzes action. “Climate Action” is what now the title that brands the work in climate change research, adaption, mitigation, etc.

Following the growing concern directed to climate change, different initiatives have been popping up during the last decades, especially after the Rio 92 conference, and more recently the Paris Agreement.
Many times articles and the media generalizes the work of climate change related organizations, and we (environmental concerned individuals) often hear about “the latest report”, “the new scientific data”, “growing green investments funds” etc., but sometimes the who’s behind such information is not clear. This article provides a quick overview of some of the organization related to climate change, focusing on a few big names in the areas of international governance, green investments, and civil society.
