350.org was founded by U.S. author Bill McKibben, who wrote one of the first books on global warming for the general public, and a team of university friends. In 2007 the group organised over 2,000 rallies at iconic places in all 50 of the United States. Centred around creative action calling for real action on climate change, the campaign now reaches all over the world with 5,200 actions in 181 countries taking place in 2009. In early 2012, 350.org helped the world connect the dots between climate change and extreme weather through their Climate Impacts Day. 350.org continues to grow across the world, become more strategic, and more focused on building an unstoppable movement for climate solutions impossible to ignore. 350.org also run climate campaign Fossil Free calling for people to divest their money from institutions with investments in fossil fuels, and campaign against the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

Action for Dolphins stops cruelty to, and gains legal protection for, small cetaceans (dolphins and other small whales). AFD focuses on small cetaceans in particular because these highly sentient animals have in practice no international legal protection, and are subjected to some of the most extreme cruelty inflicted on animals anywhere in the world. Where dolphin hunting is taking place illegally, we'll fight to stop it through the courts. We'll also bring organisations that support dolphin hunting to account through legal action. Beyond legal efforts, AFD conducts investigations, research and global advocacy campaigns to influence decision-makers to bring an end to dolphin hunting. AFD also works to stop cruelty to dolphins and whales in captivity, particularly those who are the victims of wild dolphin hunts.

AID/WATCH is a membership-based watchdog on aid, trade and debt, working with communities in the Global South.

We are working towards a world free from structural inequalities, where people can determine their own futures within a global framework of mutual respect for the environment and for one another. A world where trade, aid and debt no longer exploit peoples, but instead promote environmental and social justice.
