I'll admit it, John:

350.org isn't like most other organizations.

Because, unlike other non-profits, our climate movement does radically
different work from region to region.

Our 490 network groups around the world are pushing forward a climate
strategy that is based on their regional context and is deeply rooted in
real community needs.

It's an amazing thing, but it can also make it hard to explain the full
scope of the impact we are having as a climate movement.

That's why I'm excited to share the 350.org Annual Report with you. Here
are just a few of the highlights from our climate movement around the
globe in 2023:

Growing the Climate Movement

Supported 490 network groups globally, underlining the organization's
commitment to nurturing a vibrant climate movement community.

Mobilized 94,701 people in climate actions and events, showcasing the
massive scale of collaborative effort and community engagement.

Trained 7,709 activists, demonstrating 350's dedication to empowering
individuals within the movement through education and resources.

Stopping Fossil Fuel Projects

Successfully led to significant financial withdrawals from the East
African Crude Oil Pipeline, with 7 additional banks and 8 insurers
withdrawing support, marking a critical victory achieved in collaboration
with over 260 civil society organizations.

Influenced QNB Finansbank, The Turkish Economy Bank, and Şekerbank to
commit to divesting from coal, a result of strategic advocacy and
partnership with local organizations.

Submitted over 10,000 comments directly to the Federal Reserve Bank — the
referee of the U.S. economy — to demand them to conduct a risk assessment
for our current climate. Before our movement spotlighted their role in the
climate crisis, the Federal Reserve System had mostly been flying under
the radar in public eyes. This is a testimonial for the strength of our
movement and sets a strong foundation for our campaign next year targeting
other lesser-known actors behind the climate crisis — like utility
companies.

Blocked financing from the Brazilian Development Bank for the Vaca Muerta
gas pipeline expansion in Argentina, a testament to 350's effective
advocacy and partnership with regional environmental groups.

Investment in Community-Led Renewable Energy

Across Africa, with a spotlight on Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo, 350
advanced community-centered renewable energy systems. They emphasized
equitable access and justice through the release of a renewable energy
report on Africa Day. In collaboration with local partners, such as 350
G-ROC in Ghana, they advocated for sustainable energy solutions,
showcasing a direct engagement with communities facing energy poverty and
championing renewable alternatives.

Through targeted initiatives in Asia, specifically in Indonesia,
Bangladesh, and Türkiye, 350 led efforts to raise awareness and mobilize
support for the transition to renewable energy. They supported local
communities in adopting solar and micro-hydro power solutions, as seen in
the Climate Rangers Community's efforts in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and the
Green New Deal initiative in Bangladesh. These campaigns underscored the
importance of transitioning away from fossil fuels through local action
and international solidarity.
