What is Climate Club?

 

The goals of Climate Club are to

• increase public awareness of climate changes and its damaging effects.
• initiate the social take-on of responsibility
• educate to achieve environmental conscious thinking and change of perspective.

 

It provides a forum for members of the corporate, civil and scientific communities. Hence anybody can become club member as a private person, a corporation, civil organization or representative of the scientific community.

 

Climate Club is unique because it builds a communication bridge between the population and corporations, scientific life.

The club has launched its web-portal (www.klímaklub.hu), which presents environmentally conscious companies, reports on events and conferences related to climate changes. It also offers interviews, articles, analyses and it is the first in Hungary to offer the opportunity to calculate personal carbon-dioxide emission.

 

'Global warming is a fact. Our climate is changing and the progress is accelerating. What we see today is only the early sign of climate changing, the consequence of the gas emission which creates the greenhouse effect. Europe has to sound reveille in order to protect itself from the catastrophic consequences of the evolving climate change.'(From the Green Book published by the European Commission no 29. June. 2007)

Climate Club is the speaker of European thinking in Hungary. The introduction of Climate Club will take place at Hungarian Climate Summit.
