About 350.org 

  •  350.org is an international campaign dedicated to creating an equitable global climate treaty that lowers carbon dioxide below 350 parts per million.
  • Although current levels are already at 390, if we put a high enough price on carbon that we stop using so much, while also ensuring poor countries a fair chance to develop, we will be able to reverse course, develop a clean energy economy and prevent serious, long-term damage.

What does this 350 number mean?

350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide—measured in "Parts Per Million" in our atmosphere. 350 PPM—it's the number humanity needs to get back to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change.
