Meet Anne Jellema, 350.org’s new Executive Director.
ABOUT 35.org
We’re building a movement that fights for a fairer future for all. We believe in the collective power of ordinary people taking action: we campaign and organize locally and globally to create a world powered by just and accessible renewable energy that will move us away from fossil fuels, for good. And we are doing this with the urgency the climate crisis demands of us. Are you ready to join us?
We’re shaping a future where:
People are empowered, ordinary people have the tools and training to build a better future and know the pathways they can take to make that happen.
Communities are resilient, renewable energy is produced, consumed and owned within a community, creating jobs and local economic benefits.
Governments and institutions prioritize climate action, implementing policies that reduce emissions and support a transition to renewable energy.
Renewable energy becomes the dominant source of power, lessening the environmental impacts, providing more access to communities and reducing the overall cost to people.
Fossil fuels are kept in the ground to protect both people and the planet.
We are calling for a transformative energy transition that prioritizes people over corporate profit. This means creating local jobs and revenue for communities, lessening environmental impacts and offering more energy access to people in cities and rural areas.
Here’s how we get there:
Our strategy is twofold: resisting fossil fuel projects and its enablers, and advocating for a world powered by the sun, wind and people.
Our Impact
We campaign to keep fossil fuels in the ground and accelerate the renewable energy transition in an effort to tackle the climate crisis. We train and empower ordinary people to create local campaigns to ignite a renewable energy revolution. Get involved here!
Our biggest strength is our global network, connecting local and national campaigns across the world to confront injustice, challenge our fossil-fueled economic systems and showcase a groundswell of support for renewable energy. See our network of local groups.
Together, we have achieved extraordinary things: training thousands of people to become climate leaders in their own communities, moving trillions of dollars away from the fossil fuel industry, stopping dirty coal, oil and gas projects – and much more! Learn more about our history and wins so far.

What’s in a name?
Ours, 350, is a number. And a very important one. It is a reference to 350 parts per million (ppm) – the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere considered the safe limit to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. We are currently at 423 ppm. Our name, 350.org, is a reminder that our fight to stop this number increasing further is more important than ever.
Our People
We are a team of smart, strategic and driven people spread all around the world. We believe that a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and collaborative team brings a variety of approaches to the work we do.
Our Values
We work across languages and continents to form a powerful worldwide network, having justice, collaboration and respect at the forefront of all we do. Our work is grounded in the change we want to see.
