THE PROJECT
WHAT WE
DO COUNTS
Count Us In’s mission is to inspire 1 billion citizens to
significantly reduce their carbon pollution and
challenge leaders to deliver bold, global change.
WHAT WE
CLIMATE
CHANGE
IS REAL
Over 99% of scientists agree. It’s real. It’s here. People are
responsible for it. And if we do nothing, things will get much
worse for us all.
Some of us have already had our lives overturned by
climate change. Many of us haven’t – yet. As the world gets
hotter, floods, fires, droughts, pollution and crop failures will
become more severe and disrupt life as we know it all over
the world. Many of the things we take for granted will be
taken away from us – forever.
It is not too late. We have a choice, and what we do matters.
We can act now to protect our livelihoods and our
communities, and leave a world for our children that is
worth living for.
