350’S GLOBAL ORIGINS
Founded in 2008 by author, environmentalist, and activist Bill McKibben, 350.org has grown from its humble beginnings into one of the world’s largest creative activism groups. 350’s campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions are led from the bottom up by thousands of individuals and volunteer organizers in over 188 countries. Together, we believe that action will bring us closer to climate safety, and a more sustainable climate system.
NOW IT’S AFRICA’S TURN TO TAKE UP THE FIGHT
We are a powerful movement of citizens around the continent working to build a future that’s free from the destructive impacts of climate change.

OUR PRINCIPLES
We’re all leaders
Each group has the power to decide its own organising, facilitation, decision-making, communications, tactics and actions. We’re all responsible collectively for making sure we live up to our values and shared organising principles.
We take action
Taking action is how we build public support behind our cause. And we recognise the importance of escalating those actions when our demands aren’t met. We are committed to maintaining non-violent discipline in all of our actions. We support those who take direct action and respect those who are not in a position to take part. We encourage a wide range of tactics — it strengthens our movement.
