Climate change and global warming

Climate change is already affecting our lives and the places we live, and has the potential to dramatically impact the lives of future generations.
The Nature Conservancy is joining with policy makers, community members, businesses, scientists, industry leaders and others to slow the pace of climate change. We work to reduce the accumulation of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere and help natural areas adjust to the impacts of climate change.
If we don’t act now, we will leave a much larger problem to our children. The good news is that, if we all join in to stop climate change, we can reduce its impact on our lives, on our environment and on future generations.What The Nature Conservancy is Doing


The Nature Conservancy is addressing climate change by:

• Reducing emissions from deforestation
