Mission & Story
We are passionate about facing and addressing the climate crisis, and understand that we are alive at a critical time. Technological breakthroughs and local policy successes demonstrate that we have the tools to lessen the climate crisis, but we are not acting quickly or boldly enough, and we are out of time. We are here to provide anyone who worries about the future with resources to help them take action and find ways to engage in ways that feel meaningful. We are especially dedicated to helping people who feel overwhelmed, that they don’t know enough to act, or they don’t know what will make a difference.
Power Up for Climate Solutions was founded in 2018 with a primary focus on climate actions to build momentum for national and international action. In 2021, we expanded our focus to include personal, local, and state climate actions.
