Engage with civil society efforts to advance the fundamental human rights of high-quality, universal education and bodily autonomy (including high-quality reproductive health care and voluntary family planning) in your community.

Encourage policymakers and leaders to prioritize funding communities that have been historically excluded from accessing high-quality education.

Learn more about how girls’ education and family planning are essential components of climate adaptation and resilience.

Education can decrease vulnerability to climate-related events such as extreme heat, flooding, and resource scarcity and increase climate adaptation and resilience.

Family planning is associated with improved sexual and reproductive health and reduced risk of HIV Infection.

Family planning and education contribute to reduced morbidity and mortality for women, infants, and children.

If you garden, consider using biochar to enrich your soil.

Learn about the climate benefits of biochar and share what you learn with a friend or colleague.

Producing biochar reduces organic waste.

Consider using bamboo products in your next home improvement project.

Share the somewhat surprising climate benefit of bamboo with others by writing a letter to a magazine editor or adding a comment to an online article.

By sequestering carbon this solution can improve air and water quality, reduce risks of extreme climate events, and enhance mental health.

Improved air and water quality contribute to reduced respiratory and gastrointestinal illness.

If you own degraded, abandoned farmland, work with agriculture specialists to help restore its fertility and productivity.

Encourage your government to provide incentives for restoring degraded land to healthy production or habitat.

Through sequestration of carbon this solution has the added benefits of improving air and water quality, reducing risks of extreme climate events, and improving mental health.

Ecosystems can be restored to preserve biodiversity, which improves planetary health.

Addressing food security through restoring productive land can benefit nutrition and reduce obesity.

Increasing productive land is associated with increasing income and work, which can improve equity and reduce poverty.

When deciding whether to buy biofuels, consider the pros and cons for the climate and environment more broadly.

Encourage your elected officials to support legislation that enhances the capacity of farmers to contribute to solving climate change.

Plant a fruit or nut tree suitable to your climate.

Include sustainably produced tree fruits and nuts in your diet.

Growing perennial staple crops improves soil health and reduces nutrient pollution in streams and rivers.

If you farm, explore whether tree intercropping could be a win-win for you and the climate.

Share this page with a local producer of fruit, nuts, or other tree crops. Explain how reducing climate risk today will help their business flourish for generations to come.

Tree intercropping improves soil health and boosts soils' ability to store water, which is beneficial during prolonged dry spells.

It also promotes biodiversity by providing diverse habitats and food sources for a variety of organisms. The presence of trees in agricultural landscapes attracts beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife, fostering ecological balance and supporting a healthy ecosystem.

If you manage development funds, consider that tropical forest restoration can benefit people, reduce biodiversity loss, and reduce climate risk at the same time.

Hold the companies that make your food and beverages, or in which you are invested, responsible for protecting existing tropical forests and supporting the restoration of degraded ones.

Tropical forests support pollinators that in turn support pollinator-dependent agriculture, providing food for local people.

Tropical forests retain nitrogen in watersheds, benefiting downstream rivers and lakes.

Tropical forest protection helps preserve and safeguard biodiversity in Key Biodiversity Areas.

If you own land that once was forested, consider restoring all or part of it to its natural state.

Volunteer with a reforestation, invasive species removal, or habitat restoration project.

If you own or manage land, restore as much as possible to natural vegetation.

Forests support pollinators that in turn support pollinator-dependent agriculture, providing food for local people.
