Protecting Our Environmemt

A key area of Rotary's focus aimed at developing projects in both local communities and across the World which help protect and conserve our environment.


Protecting the Environment

Rotarians all have a passion to protecting the Planet and preserving it's resources

We are committed to supporting activities that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance ecological sustainability and foster harmony between communities and the environment.

We empower communities to access grants and other resources, embrace local solutions, and spur innovation in an effort to address the causes and reduce the effects of climate change and environmental degradation.

Over the past 5 Years the Rotary Foundation has given over $18 million in grants to support environmental based projects

Rotarians have committed the following pledge to the World:

  • Protect and restore land, marine and freshwater resources
  • Enhance the capacity of communities to support natural resource management and conservation
  • Support sustainable agriculture, fishing, and aquaculture practices
  • Address the cause of climate change by reducing the emission of greenhouse gases
  • Strengthen ecosystems and communities affected by climate change
  • Support education initiatives that promote behaviour that protects the environment
  • Advocate for sustainable consumption to build an economy that uses resources more efficiently
  • Address environmental justice issues and public health concerns
