Download iNaturalist and make an observation! Or many! Once you download the app you can even check out “projects near you” and start observing with folks in your area! You’d be amazed at how many people are already using iNaturalist And hey, if you and some friends start together, there’s nothing like a bit of friendly competition to get you out there to see who can make the most, or the most obscure observation.

Community science initiatives happen everywhere! You may be surprised at the number of opportunities in your own community, yes even if you live in a big city! Take a look at these community science databases to find other ways to contribute important data to climate and biodiversity monitoring efforts. Let us know on social media if there are any projects you’re already involved in you think more people need to know about!

COP 26, the 26th UN Climate Change conference is running in Glasgow from Sunday Oct 31st to Friday Nov. 12th. Big international conferences like these can sometimes feel like just another PR opportunity for world leaders, without the follow-up or commitment required to keep warming to 1.5°C as agreed upon in the 2015 COP Paris Agreement, it’s also an opportunity for folks to apply pressure to our leaders in this pivotal decade and demand true action in line with what the science tells us.

For example, earlier this month 400 young people around the world gathered at the Youth4Climate meeting to create a list of demands based on science and equity, including growing nature based climate solutions, phasing out fossil fuel expansion to support a just transition for everyone, and ensuring equitable financial support for developing countries from rich nations that have benefitted from their exploitation.
