Green Up to Cool Down: United in Action

EverGreening's global campaign Green Up to Cool Down is a massive-scale collaborative movement which mobilises worldwide efforts to draw down 20 billion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year by 2050! We must act now for us to reverse the crisis that is climate change before it is a catastrophe.

This event will introduce you to the faces, stories and real action behind global restoration. Meet the people on the ground who are working tirelessly right now and driving the change we desperately need. Meet our inspirational young ambassadors who drive and inspire efforts, and the representatives from our 60+ member organisations leaders around the world, creating global change on a significant scale.

Join the tour of the globe with us to witness the collaborative action underway for the success of the Decade and beyond. Followed by a live Q&A, have your voice heard and contribute to the growing movement of change makers and action takers.
