Tackle climate change as an organisation
Every organisation has its own mission. But all organisations can pursue that mission in a way that helps to bring about a low-carbon future.
Charities and churches do this because climate change impacts their core aims. For example, relief agencies see how climate change impacts people in poor countries. Churches see how it harms God's creation and hurts their neighbours.
Forward-thinking businesses will be concerned about the future of the planet, but will also adapt to climate change to maximise their value. Opportunities include increased revenues from low-carbon products, cost savings, efficiency gains, better risk management, and improved reputation. A McKinsey report says: ‘The winners will be companies that reposition to seize the opportunities of a low-carbon future.’
A typical organisational strategy will have three strands:
- Within existing strategies act fast to reduce emissions wherever possible, and offset what remains
- Develop a new vision of the organisation within a low-carbon future and a strategy to take it there
- Be an enthusiastic advocate for urgent action towards better living on low-carbon to staff, customers, suppliers and supporters

Food for the Hungry UK
Food for the Hungry UK are a Christian organization engaged in relief and sustainable development in some of the poorest regions of the world in Africa, Asia and South America. We work with whole communities, especially those who are most oppressed and vulnerable. We recognise that such people will be hard hit by climate change, so we are committed to reducing our environmental impact, and offsetting our essential flights with Climate Stewards.
Latin Link
Latin Link is an international community serving local churches throughout Latin America. Our heart is contained in a single Spanish word: formación, which combines the ideas of formative training, preparation and personal development leading to wholeness and wellbeing. Our holistic approach makes us concerned about climate change, which is why we offset with Climate Stewards.
Hacienda Los Olivos
Hacienda Los Olivos is a Christian retreat centre based in Andalucia Southern Spain, focusing on Art and Spirituality for church groups and individuals. We are using a range of techniques to minimise our environmental footprint including offsetting visitors' air flights with Climate Stewards.
CORD
CORD’s vision is a world where all people live in harmony with one another, creation and God, and have access to resources needed for development and the opportunity to live in freedom with security and justice. We aim to show God’s love by assisting people displaced by conflict to rebuild their lives and communities peacefully and sustainably. Peace and sustainability cannot be achieved without considering the environment, which is why we are partnering Climate Stewards.
