The effects of climate change – floods, cyclones and crop failures – have a much bigger impact on people in poor countries because they don’t have the resources to protect themselves - they suffer the most, even though they have contributed to it the least.

What ActionAid is doing

• ActionAid uniquely equipped to help people prepare for climate change
• we work with communities in vulnerable places to help them adapt
• we are also putting pressure on governments to reduce their emissions
• we are members of the Stop Climate Chaos coalition in the UK

What you can do

• raise money for ActionAid’s climate change priority project
• switch to green energy and give money to AA at the same time
• get your child’s school to reduce their carbon emissions with our free resource PowerDown (UK schools release 4 million tonnes of CO2 a year)
• recycle your phone for ActionAid. 
• take your friends to see the Age of Stupid film
