Environment

The planet is one thing we all share, and it’s our responsibility to care for it. Addressing the existing climate crisis is critical to combatting global inequities.  

  • Air pollution leads to an estimated 8.79 million premature deaths each year.
  • 3 out of 4 people living in poverty rely on agriculture and natural resources to survive. 
  • By 2050, as many as 1 billion people could be displaced by environmental hazards — primarily sea level rise and natural disasters.

The good news is our charity partners listed below are working toward a future of sustainability and conservation. Their programs include wildlife preservation, responsible resource management, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity research and protection, and more.
