The science is clear: there is no more time to waste. Research has shown that climate change is not only happening right now - it will soon be too difficult to stop. While most career politicians are sitting on their hands or ignoring the science altogether, the Vatican has vowed to take action. It sent a delegation to the COP24 conference earlier this month lobbying world leaders to make a stand right now to help solve the challenges of climate change.

As reported in the National Catholic Reporter:

"We often say that the situation of our planet needs decisions for tomorrow," Msgr. Bruno-Marie Duffé, head of the Holy See delegation at COP24... "But tomorrow is today. Tomorrow is today."

Partnerships for Change teamed up with the Vatican to assist with their involvement, but we need your help:

• Spread the word about climate change, its urgency, and what we can do about it.
• Demand your local leaders take action. Calls are better than emails. Attend rallies (or organize them yourself) if necessary.
• Participate or organize boycotts of some of the world's biggest polluters. Make your energy known.

For the holiday season, please also consider donating to non-profits that are fighting against climate change. Partnerships for Change is also a non-profit that survives off donations if you're feeling generous, and make sure to support political candidates that are making climate change their top priority.

There are many challenges we face in the world today. But if we do not start addressing climate change soon, we may not have a world left.
