"We are a not-for-profit communications agency that puts creativity and the Global Goals at the heart of its work. We create campaigns, films, and multiplatform content, convene partners and put on unique events."
"We’re always excited to find new partners to further our Global Goals"
We value: (2 things picked out:
Progress for people and planet, with nobody left behind
Creativity to make audacious things possible.
Uncomplicated communication of complicated ideas
Nurturing trust, freedom, diversity and passion in our team
Collaboration and great partners
Maximum impact for the global goals, always
From one of their projects -Bringing the global goals to London Tech week.
"The session culminated with Richard Curtis calling on all the founders to consider setting aside 10% of their time, or of their organisation, to not only focus on innovation for the Goals over the next ten years, but to connect with others working on the same challenges as them, reminding them that together we can deliver a much larger impact than if we remain in silos."

Leo Di Caprio (maybe check contact possibilities to see if copied everything)
Home page of his personal website has a link to "Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation" (http://leonardodicaprio.org/), which redirects to re:wild (see below).
The home page also a paragraph about the foundation:
"The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation is dedicated to the long-term health and wellbeing of all Earth’s inhabitants. Through collaborative partnerships, we support innovative projects that protect vulnerable wildlife from extinction, while restoring balance to threatened ecosystems and communities. LDF works in 4 key areas: Species, Oceans, Wildlands, Climate"
There's also a form "Join Us - What issue do you care about the most?", which I have "subscribed" to. Might provide more info on whether the foundation is still active and doing anything other than 're:wild'.
On his biography page there's another form "Join Us - Sign up for email updates and help us protect the planet." - clicking on the 'Register' button for this gets a 404 response.
I haven't found an email address for Leo, only a postal address: Leonardo Dicaprio, Appian Way Productions, 9255 Sunset Blvd., Suite 615, West Hollywood, CA 90069 USA. "Appian Way Productions" is his own production company.
Another possibility is to try going via re:wild - see below.
"We support projects around the world that build climate resiliency, protect vulnerable wildlife, and restore balance to threatened ecosystems and communities."
"The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation is now part of Earth Alliance
A new philanthropic partnership dedicated to urgently addressing climate change and environmental threats to life on Earth."
Founded in 1998.
There is a contact form, but "This form has been deactivated and is closed to any further submissions."
There is also a contact button, which is a mailto link to Earth Alliance.
I think this website (https://stage.leonardodicaprio.org/) is probably no longer in use.
Leo's personal website has a link to "Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation" (http://leonardodicaprio.org/), which redirects to re:wild (see below). This suggests that re:wild has replaced the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
"Earth Alliance, a new organization to help address the urgent threats to our planet’s life support systems – born out of the shared passion of its founding co-chairs: environmental activist and Academy Award®-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, businesswoman and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, and investor and philanthropist Brian Sheth."
Formed in July 2019.
Earth Alliance no longer seems to be active. The website has only a single page (half of which I've quoted above), with a link to a YouTube video and a mailto link, but no other links. There have been no posts on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram since May/June 2021.
"Re:wild's mission is to protect and restore the wild to build a thriving Earth where all life flourishes."
"Re:wild launched in 2021 combining more than three decades of conservation impact by Leonardo DiCaprio and Global Wildlife Conservation, leveraging expertise, partnerships and platforms to bring new attention, energy and voices together"

XR GLOBAL NOTES
XR -What is XR
From 2nd value -
Aim to reach 3.5%
"..The world is deeply unequal, with wealth and power levers concentrated in a small minority.
From Value 4 We openly challenge ourselves and this toxic system
There is a value in us making changes in our own lives to reflect the changes needed, such as changing our diets, where we go on holiday and so on (however personal responsibility can be overstated and is based, to some extent, in privilege). For all of these challenges we ask for room, patience and willingness to try new things to see if they support our goals.
The time to act is now
Traditional strategies like petitioning, lobbying, voting and protest have not worked due to the rooted interests of political and economic forces. Our approach is therefore one of non-violent, disruptive civil disobedience – a rebellion to bring about change, since all other means have failed.
XR Global- Why rebel tab:
The possibilitiy of transformation
But guess what? The rapid, mass mobilization of people and governments to Covid 19 shows us how quickly we can turn things around when required. ... We have the example;We have the example; we have seen we can massively shift our behaviors and economic systems when required.
"..Now is the time to acknowledge the facts of the Climate and Ecological Emergency, and apply the same thinking - mitigate and adapt to a future that is quickly barreling towards us. Build resilient systems, support the most vulnerable, shift to regenerative and distributive economies, and live within our ecological boundaries. We can shift the systems that have brought us to this point, because we have no other choice. We must reset our relationship with the Earth."
What makes XR different
"... We recognize our institutions are not taking this crisis seriously, and therefore we must shift the power back to the people to make the bold decisions needed through Participatory Democracy and Citizens’ Assemblies."
You are XR
Extinction Rebellion is made up of people from all walks of life, different backgrounds, cultures, and political affiliations - people like you, coming together to create a different story. We know the crisis we are facing, and we want to change the future. This fight is all of ours, and we all need to be willing to stand up for the truth and face it together.
This is why we, as rebels, have come together to take action. We recognize the injustice - not just to the world’s poor, but to its unborn - that nearly half of global emissions are produced by less than 20% of its population.
Non Violent civil disobedience
"...history has shown us time and time again that nonviolent protest does work as a powerful means to bring about change."
We have no other choice. We rebel against the systems that got us here. We rebel for the future we want. We rebel because it is our responsibility to act. We have no more time to waste. Nothing is impossible - we can still write the story we want and we will. We as individuals can make a difference, collectively. We will do this together - transform the world, create lasting change and build a better future for all.

EarthDay
---------------------
earthday.org
From email 28.02.22 with ref to report from IPCC
We have to sit down and have a dialogue with friends, family, and neighbors about our changing planet and what we can do as globalcitizens to reverse course. As it stands, far too many people remain uninformed about climate change, which makes education and civicengagement all the more important. It’s been said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”1 The change we seek beings with us.
This will require individuals, businesses, and governments to act boldly, innovate broadly, and implement equitably. We have no more time to sit back and wait for further environmentaltragedy. We have the power to accelerate innovative climate action plans, to Restore our Earth, and to build a sustainable future.It is going to take all of us to Invest In Our Planet.

Transition Network is an international grassroots movement (48 countries and 23 "hubs"), with local groups engaged in community projects. The movement itself is focussed on groups doing local projects, but it's possible that the individuals in those groups might be interested in individual actions.
They have a newsletter that you can subscribe to ( by clicking on the hamburger menu and selecting 'GET OUR NEWSLETTER'). The subscription form says "for news and updates"; when you submit the form the MailChimp site (which handles the newsletter) says "for workshop attendees and interested people". I've only just subscribed (24 Feb) so I don't yet know what's in the newsletter or how frequent it is.
Repair cafe, orchard planting, discussing active transport, stall at farmers' market.
Seems to be defunct - no activity on its website since 2015.
There are only 6 trainers in the UK, and none local. There are 3 in Totnes, 1 in Exeter, 1 in Glastonbury, and 1 in Oxford.
There's just one in mainland Europe: in Essen, Germany.

I received a welcome email the following day.
After another 2 days received a getting started email. Ten ideas for getting started (most of which we've already done), and:
"My co-worker Hannah will email you in a few days to ask you about you. She’ll want to know what you’re into, how you’d like to get involved, and what you’d like to see from us. She’ll also ask if you’ve got any campaign suggestions, so have a think, I’d love to hear your ideas." [bold was in original]
The 'from' email address for both these emails (from Hannah Bland and Max Wakefield respectively) was hello@wearepossible.org, so they aren't providing personal email addresses.
After a further 3 days received another email from Hannah, with a link to an anonymous questionnaire about my climate interests and how I might want to participate in Possible. You can look look at all pages of the questionnaire by clicking OK with making any selections.

They recognize that "Each of us can also work to change the culture within
society as well as specific businesses and institutions to act responsibly and
accelerate change. And each of us can make changes in our own behavior."
But their message seems to be primarily directed at government and corporation
leaders, although "Social movements, NGOs, academics, the private sector

OTHERS RESEARCHED
Launched Oct 2020.
Some details from a Count Us In slideshow:
Slide 6: "Count Us In focuses on a “non-activist” middle that is deeply influential but largely unreached by existing climate campaigns.
Our audience is somewhat worried about climate, but:
– it’s not their first priority
– they are put off by activism and environmentalism
– they often don’t know what to do
– they feel their actions won’t make a difference"
Slide 8: "Working with experts from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and others, we have developed a list of 16 steps that we believe are the most meaningful actions people can take on climate change, based on 3 criteria.
#1: IMPACT
Can it drive a major reduction
in carbon pollution?
#2: INFLUENCE
Will it make politicians and
business pay attention?
#3: INVOLVE
Is there something for everyone in our audience?"
Slide 12: "The Count Us In aggregator adds up the steps taken on our platform and on our partner climate action platforms, combining and synthesizing data to show the collective impact of citizen action."
Slide 14: "We have more than 100 amazing partners from sport, culture, business, civil society, faith and cities - across geographies - reaching millions of people."
"Convened by Countdown, Count Us In has been developed with partners, including:
To create an account you have to provide:
"You're in. Congratulations! You're making a real difference! Come back in 2 months to tell us how you did so we can count your impact!"
Also get confirmation email: "You’ve chosen to Drive Electric over the next two months. Your step will be added to Count Us In - Public Team at Count Us In."
The step was supposed to be "Make your next car purchase an electric vehicle", so I was surprised to discover that I had committed to "Drive Electric over the next two months".
It seems that whenever you "take a step" you are committing to trying it and coming back after 2 months to report on how it went. The step doesn't seem to be counted until you have confirmed it (and there is no way of confirming it before the 2 months - e.g. because you have bought a car).
"Congratulations! You're making a real difference! Come back in 2 months to tell us how you did so we can count your impact!"
Count Us In have "Partner Platforms Sharing their data". I assume that this means that counts from these platforms are "aggregated" into the Count Us In counts. The Partner Platforms are:
The Count Us In aggregator page shows the counts:
There's an image suggesting that it might be possible to break down the counts by partner platform, location, category (Food, Home, Travel, Lifestyle), but it isn't actually possible.
"Count Us In's steps platform is powered by Do Nation's technology."
Do Nation have their own set of 50 pledges ranging from more significant ones like "switch to a green energy supplier" and "meetings without the travel", to more minor ones like "use a saucepan lid" and "print double sided".
The pledges have OK descriptions of why and how, but they are not prioritized.
The pledges aren't all to do with climate - there also ones to with sustainability and health.
It seems to be possible for individuals or organizations to create their own "campaigns" to "raise pledges" - haven't spent enough time to understand what this means or how it works.
Do Nation have 47,396 users and 141,786 pledges. Given how minor most of the pledges are, the users aren't doing much.
"The Count Us In aggregator has been built by Accenture."
"Countdown (powered by TED and Future Stewards) helped incubate and initiate Count Us In, with other founding organizations."
Countdown "are bringing together scientists, activists, entrepreneurs, urban planners, farmers, CEOs, investors, artists, government officials, and others to find the most effective, evidence-based ideas out there. Our goal is to identify the bold solutions that can be activated when people break out of their silos and rise to the challenge."
"ActNow is the United Nations campaign for individual action on climate change and sustainability"
"The ActNow campaign was launched at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 24) in December 2018, with a call from Sir David Attenborough in conjunction with the award-winning “People’s Seat” initiative."
They have a mobile app, provided by AWorld, which provides a "fun and gamified experience" to "learn about sustainabilty". It provides:
The data collected by the app is presumably shared with Count Us In, although it doesn't seem to directly correspond to Count Us In pledges.
"AWorld was selected as the official platform to support ACTNOW United Nations campaign for individual action on climate change and sustainability."
Hard to understand flashy website, but they seem mainly to provide sustainability "solutions" for companies and schools by getting their employees (and customers?) and students to learn by taking challenges, taking quizzes, playing games, ...
Website using David Attenborough's 'Breaking Boundaries' 2021 film to attract people to make what are essentially Count Us In pledges. Site is a sub-domain of count-us-in, but has separate accounts (I can't login using my CountUsIn email and password), the trial period is 1 month instead of 2.
I assume the pledge counts are "aggregated", even though Breaking Boundaries isn't listed as a data-sharing partner.
Very similar to the Breaking Boundaries site, but using the 'Don't Look Up' 2021 film.
