350.org
Non-profit
350.org was founded in 2008 by a group of university friends in the United States along with author Bill McKibben, who wrote one of the first books on global warming for the general public. The goal was to build a global climate movement. 350 was named after 350 parts per million — the safe concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Our first actions were global days of action that linked activists and organizations around the world, including the International Day of Climate Action in 2009, the Global Work Party in 2010, Moving Planet in 2011. 350 quickly became a planet-wide collaboration of organizers, community groups and regular people fighting for a fossil free future.
Today 350 works on grassroots campaigns across the globe: from opposing coal plants and mega-pipelines, to supporting renewable energy solutions and cutting financial flows to fossil fuels. All of our work leverages people power to dismantle the influence and infrastructure of the fossil fuel industry.
Some of our proudest moments of recent years include campaigning against the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines in the United States; stopping fracking in hundreds of cities in Brazil and Argentina; pushing more than 1,000 universities, foundations, cities and churches to divest more than $12 trillion from fossil fuels; and joining historic grassroots mobilizations like the People's Climate March and Global Climate Strike.

This is not the first time Trump has tried to revive this project that was first cancelled by president Barack Obama in 2015 following relentless people-powered pressure. In 2017, Trump signed an executive order in support of KXL.

Indonesian wildfires point to climate crisis, not just El Niño

As extreme heat wipes off EU’s economic growth, fossil fuel profits must pay for ‘arson’
Economic losses from extreme heat and drought could wipe off much of the economic growth expected across Europe, according to a new report by the Dutch bank Triodos. The bank warns that weaker labour productivity and agricultural losses could shave off roughly €180 billion ($208 billion), equivalent to 1% of the European Union’s GDP. 350.org said climate-driven economic contraction punishes European households with lower incomes and higher costs, while oil and gas companies reap the rewards.
