The world is facing two related challenges that threaten the lives and livelihoods of billions of people: climate change and the global energy crisis. The main cause of these challenges is our unsustainable level of consumption, which uses large quantities of energy for production and transportation.

Key to the solution is the right of communities to choose their sustainable energy sources and to develop a healthy consumption level. There is also a need for greenhouse gas emissions reduction and for all people to equally share resources within ecological limits. Friends of the Earth International works for climate justice and energy access through proactive, community based campaigns and projects.
