I’ve concentrated here on charities which have the most effect relative to the amount of money given to them, based on work by Giving What We Can and others. Here are some causes to donate to or support with your work:
Cool Earth – working with rainforest communities to reduce deforestation
Rainforest Coalition – assisting tropical governments, communities and peoples to responsibly manage their rainforests
Climate Emergency Fund – supporting climate-related action worldwide
Union of Concerned Scientists – researching, fighting misinformation and communicating with the public and governments on climate change
You could also support your country’s Green Party politically or with a donation – click here for a full list.
Offsetting carbon footprints for your choir or organisation:
Tradewater – removing high-impact gases such as CFCs from circulation. Purchase carbon offset credits.
BURN – providing clean cooking stoves for rural households in sub-Saharan Africa. Purchase carbon offset credits.
Check your carbon footprint using the UN Carbon Footprint Calculator.
