Who We Are

Founded in 2021, the Healthy Planet Action Coalition (HPAC) is an international group of over 200 participants from over a dozen countries advocating urgent action to restore a safe and healthy planet.

Why We Are Here

Because of delay in action, Earth systems are beginning to collapse with foregone untenable futures baked in unless we restore our climate to restore our Earth systems.

Healthy Climate Triad

The healthy climate triad includes actions that cool by reflection of sunlight, remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and reduce emissions to create a sustainable future.

Healthy Climate Solutions

Cool with known sunlight reflection strategies, Remove with 100-year old industrial processes, Reduce with strategies that are more than a generation old.

Current temperatures are rapidly climbing well past safe levels, endangering lives and ecosystems while ensuring  “tipping points” will rapidly lead to irreversible impacts. Evaluating the most recent data, a coalition of international experts has come together to create a better way forward to ensure humanity’s future by restoring our climate,  not allowing additional warming as our global climate culture suggests is safe.

The Climate Triad is…

 

Real Science

Using the most recent published data, a coalition of scientists and climate experts have created a better way forward to ensure humanity’s future . A way that is actually capable of restoring a safe and healthy climate.

Real Solutions

Rather than the present approach of just slowing the increase in global temperatures and impacts, The Climate Triad offers an approach that in coming decades can help us restore a safe and healthy climate with the global average temperature well below 1°C above its preindustrial norm.

Real Hope

Restoring a safe climate would help protect the natural world and humanity – especially the most vulnerable people and least advantaged nations – while also reducing climate anxiety, protecting national and international security, democracy and reducing the number of environmental refugees, thus helping to ensure a livable planet for ourselves, our children and their children.

The Hill, June 19, 2025 – Earth is absorbing too much sunlight: It’s a waking climate giant, by Robert Tulip

By HPAC Popular Press, Journal Articles, Conference Proceedings
Albedo is the reflection of sunlight back into space, mainly from bright surfaces such as clouds, snow, ice and atmospheric particles, providing an essential planetary cooling shield. However, a 2021 NASA study found that the excess of incoming sunlight over outgoing radiation, known as Earth’s energy imbalance, has doubled since 2005....

Explainer: How human-caused aerosols are ‘masking’ global warming (Carbon Brief)

By aerosols, clouds, global cooling pollutant, ship's fuels regulations, tropospheric aerosols

First published at Carbon Brief by Zeke Hausfather on June 10, 2025 https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-how-human-caused-aerosols-are-masking-global-warming/ Human-caused emissions of aerosols – tiny, light‑scattering particles produced mainly by burning fossil fuels – have long acted as an invisible brake on global warming. This is largely because they absorb or reflect incoming sunlight and…

the oldest independent climate science education organization in the world,
the Climate Change Now Initiative 501c3

Founded in 2005, the Climate Change Now Initiative is at the forefront of climate science education. This science tells us that abrupt changes have begun 100 times more extreme and 100 years ahead of schedule. Because of the delay, too much CO2 has been emitted for emissions reductions to cool. But the delay has allowed scientists to perfect the solutions: unambigous, cheap, simple, and much different than before — but further delay is no longer optional. The newly emerging science of global warming psychology says previous education strategies have failed and new ones are needed.


Thirty years of delay
Abrupt changes have begun
Our old climate culture must rapidly change

We use the most advanced global warming psychology to enhance outreach. Thirty years of trying has resulted in advancement of impacts that will result in unrecoverable scenarios if we do not reverse warming immediately.

Global Warming Psychology
