2022: Power the plan to save life on Earth

2022: Power the plan to save life on Earth

8 years. 96 months. Or just short of 3,000 days.

That's how long scientists say we have to cut carbon emissions by more than half, end the extinction crisis, and avoid an all-out ecological collapse.

We need a total transformation of our societies -- but there's a way we can do it...

A Harvard University team has found a golden 'rule' for creating social transformation: any non-violent cause that mobilises just 3.5% of a population reaches a tipping point where change is virtually guaranteed.

And with almost 70 million members globally, representing almost 1% of the world population, alongside thousands of other organisations and movements, together we could be inching toward the precious threshold of 3.5% of the world engaged in this urgent transformation!

But time is running out, and we need to grow, fast. We need more staff in more places, working to mobilise more Avaaz members, and unite movements, Indigenous people, youth activists and parents, on everything from climate change to political campaigning and human rights, all in a thundering global effort to help save life on Earth.

If just 10,000 of us donate just the cost of a cup of coffee a week, in 2022 we can launch a plan to do just that, going all out to create a turning point for life on Earth. We can still save our future -- but we MUST act now. Chip in now!
