Welcome to the Elders for Climate Justice website. We are Elders for Climate Justice, dedicated to creating conversations about climate change, and urgently encouraging action.

Mission

Seeking a just and sustainable world, we Elders for Climate Justice work to actively address the accelerating climate crisis that threatens us, our children, those who will follow, and all other life on our beloved planet.

Goals

To heighten awareness about the urgency of the climate crisis, engaging with and inspiring people to take positive actions to mitigate the destruction of our biosphere, and to preserve the viability, beauty, and biodiversity for future generations.
To support the youth and others, particularly the most vulnerable, on the frontline of the battle to curb the climate crisis.
To share our accumulated wisdom to leave our planet a more sustainable and just place than we currently find it.

This we know. The Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth. All things are connected, like the blood that unites one family. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth. We do not weave the web of life; we are only a strand of it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
