2021 – 2024 Strategic Plan
The recently released 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate science report indicates that it is still possible to limit global warming to 1.5°C, but that doing so requires rapid, large-scale reductions of all greenhouse gasses immediately and permanently to reach net zero emissions by 2050. We know, it sounds like a massive task. But we believe that solving the climate crisis is not only possible, it’s within reach. See POW plans to achieve this via our 2021 – 2024 Strategic Plan.

2020 ANNUAL REPORT
2020 was quite the year, eh? It was a bumpy road for us all, but there were also many wins worth celebrating along the way. Our CrushIt4Climate campaign with Strava drew in 434,800 people who crushed it for their outdoor playgrounds. When the pandemic locked us down, we held virtual events where high profile athletes and members of the outdoor members engaged with climate scientists and policymakers. And when the rubber met the road during the most contentious election in our lifetime, POW reached over 33 million potential voters with our civic engagement and GOTV messaging. We checked off some big goals in 2020.
“Perhaps the rewards of solving climate change are so compelling, so nurturing and so natural a piece of the human soul that we can’t help but do it.”
