The consensus of climate scientists is that human activities are a likely cause of climate-warming trends over the past century, and the complicated effects of this global climate change are causing unpredictable weather events and unknown diseases to surface.
Small actions sustainable results
However small their contribution Soroptimists throughout the Federation have responded to environmental calling through mitigation and adaptation through awareness, action and advocacy. As we work towards the achievement of Agenda 2030 for more sustainable environmental work with the Sustainable Development Goals as guides.
Securing the future through the tree planting is an activity clubs have embraced in most countries. It is also in tandem with the Soroptimist Centennial Project of 100 for 100 tree planting.
Perhaps the most lasting action is the awareness raised amongst school children, and communities for eco-sensitivity, to become leaders in sustainability, much as Robert Swan tasked his fellow explorers to do on returning home.
Get involved, join Soroptimists and make a difference.
