We are a non-profit organization founded in 2008, running grassroots campaigns worldwide to address the climate crisis. We aim to dismantle the fossil fuel industry and promote clean energy. We partner with communities most affected by climate change, organizing for energy solutions like distributed renewable energy.

Our strategy involves stopping fossil fuel projects and advocating for a world powered by solar and wind. We focus on empowering people, building resilient communities with local renewable energy, pushing governments and institutions to prioritize climate action, and keeping fossil fuels in the ground.

In our 15 years, we have mobilized people globally, helped shift investments away from the fossil fuel industry, and stopped various coal, oil, and gas projects and pipelines. Last year, we led or supported over 330 campaigns and events worldwide, involving more than 490 active local groups and training over 10,000 activists.

Our name, 350, refers to 350 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Scientists consider this the safe limit to avoid major climate change impacts; the current concentration is 425.40 ppm.

We are building a movement for a fairer future, believing in people’s collective power to create a world powered by just and accessible renewable energy, free from fossil fuels. Our work is driven by the urgent climate crisis.

Our core values include:

• Bold, Creative, and Strategic: We tackle the climate crisis with daring and courageous approaches, embracing new ideas and solutions.
• Working for Justice: We know the fight against climate change is a fight for justice. We address unequal impacts by listening to and amplifying voices from the most affected communities, following their leadership.
• Care for and Trust One Another: We emphasize self-care, community care, and non-violence. We value the experience and knowledge of our partners and communities for collective learning and growth.
• Stronger When We Collaborate: The climate crisis has many sides—environmental, social justice, economic. We build diverse coalitions, including students, workers unions, human rights groups, marginalized communities, faith groups, universities, and business owners.
• Transparent and Accountable: We strive for integrity through openness, respecting privacy and safety. We are accountable to our team members, collaborators, and those impacted by our work.

Our team of 51-200 smart, strategic, and driven individuals works globally. We foster a culture that values diversity, equity, inclusion, and collaboration, believing these bring varied approaches to our work. We encourage team members to care for and trust one another, working across languages and continents within a powerful worldwide network.
