Climate Change Activities in November

Even though climate change is already severely impacting ecosystems around the world, it is NOT too late to take action – at the individual, community, and global levels. This week, the Climate Reality Project will lead 24 Hours of Reality: Truth in Action. For a 24-hour period from Wednesday, November 20th through Thursday, November 21st, trained Climate Reality Leaders in all 50 U.S. states and many other countries worldwide will host public presentations and special events focusing on the climate crisis and how we solve it.

Women’s Environmental Network members are encouraged to join the climate conversation by participating in one of these local events:
