How sustainable and climate friendly is your Club?
Rotary action is successfully making the world a better place. But all Rotarian activities, e.g. traveling to conferences and events, also cause CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change. Climate change already has a negative impact on many Rotarians and other people worldwide – and the consequences for our grandchildren will be much worse if we do not act now. We do not want reduced Rotary activities but let us conduct as many of them as possible in a carbon-clever way! The ESRAG Climate Solution Task Force and the project “Every Club Climate Friendly – Become Sustainable!” offer you support and Climate Solutions: We assist you to make your Rotary or Rotaract Club climate friendly and sustainable!
We can recommend three different paths to make your club climate friendly – please choose the best path for your club:
- Make a financial contribution – the quick-and-easy path with immediate impact on the climate by supporting recommended Rotary projects. Please find the list with donation links under Financial contribution – many projects also have a social impact.
- Start an effective project – action-oriented clubs can choose from our list of possible projects with climate impact – and in many cases also social impact. Please find the list under Effective projects.
- Take a sustainable path – with the best long-term impact, making your club carbon neutral with an increased handprint & a reduced footprint. You will find a detailed description under Steps for your club and in our handbook.
All three paths lead to a climate friendly club – and we will assist you on each path you take and provide you with a certificate for your club.
Use this website to find an Ambassador or expert to inspire and support your Club. To start making your Club climate-friendly, please fill in the form.
We have developed an Online CO2 Calculation Tool that enables clubs and districts to calculate their emissions for all activities of one Rotary year. The calculator is translated in 6 languages already. After your data input you get a calculation report that you can show in your club. Based on the report we cn propose improvement steps for your club to reduce CO2 and we also have a complete list of effective projects to offset emissions.
The Become Sustainable! project is the central service partner of the ESRAG “Climate Solution Task Force” (CSTF) and the “Every-Club-Climate-Friendly” (ECCF) ESRAG initiative. We also support you to make Events & Districts climate-friendly.
You will find our Handbook, Presentations, Videos, etc. in the Resource Center.
2.5 years after the start of the project “Every Club Climate Friendly – Become Sustainable!” we have more than 200 interested and participating clubs from 24 countries! We publish the list below to enable you to contact other participating Clubs. The future is now – later is too late to protect and preserve the earth for our grandchildren.
