Our Vision
All lives should have the opportunity to flourish. We want individuals, cities, states and governments to rise to the challenge and fight climate change.
Our Mission
Our mission at Centre for the Promotion of Global Health is to find innovative solutions to support the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. The United Nations Climate report stated that we have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophe.
A new study of climate change from Tufts University looked at over 5 million potential pathways for humanity, with very few predicting an earth that is not severely warmed. The researchers emphasize that rapid carbon reduction strategies provide a hedge against the possibility of high climate sensitivity scenarios.
We consider the world to be a global family experiencing a crisis. Our solutions draw on this notion- using family and crisis intervention theory we are creating strategies to protect our earth.
We know that families experiencing crises do best when all members pull together in the search for solutions
In the same way, we currently need billions of individuals working together to solve this crisis and effectively lobby businesses and governments to make the changes that are necessary
This project also utilizes understandings from motivational psychology to effect change.
