Fight the Flood
It’s all up to us to become leaders in the fight against climate change. Join a growing movement of people around the world who are working to keep their local communities safe from climate impacts.
Tax Yourself
To solve climate change, governments need to get serious about making polluters pay for their carbon emissions. You can make a powerful statement by paying a voluntary “carbon tax” which goes to protecting critically important forests and coastal ecosystems.
Take Action
Put a Price on it

Save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge!
Greedy special interests and extremists have been trying to drill the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for more than 30 years – and now they’re closer than ever! If successful, the Arctic Refuge could become a free-for-all for Big Oil and a nightmare for polar bears, Arctic foxes, caribou, muskoxen and many other unique and imperiled species that call this highly-sensitive ecosystem home. The Trump administration’s reckless dash to expedite drilling and desecrate the Arctic Refuge is unacceptable, and Defenders will not stand by and watch them destroy this incredible landscape.

Tell the UK government: no oil drilling in national parks
