We’re building a community that stretches all across the world.
From sports fans and movie buffs to leading businesses, local groups and even other climate action platforms, we’re coming together to make our voices heard and our choices count.
Our 16 Steps have been created by world-leading climate experts using 3 simple criteria - Impact, Influence and Involvement.
So if you’re looking to start making a real difference, these are the 16 steps that count.
Thanks to the UN Environment Programme and Project Drawdown for their support in developing the 16 steps.
Every step taken by the Count Us In community is part of our global aggregator, providing our community with powerful evidence to understand, measure and promote effective action.
