The American Alpine Club (AAC) recently launched their "Climbers for Climate" Initiative which is focused on actions to help mitigate climate change. As part of this effort, AAC is partnering with several collaborative research, education, and/or action-focused organizations including the Juneau Icefield Research Program, Protect Our Winters, American Climber Science Program, Winter Wildlands Alliance, Outdoor Alliance, Mountain Research Initiative, and the Sustainable Summits Initiative. Please help support the AAC and these grassroots organizations in their efforts to educate the public, support citizen science initiatives, complete collaborative research or education activities, and pursue sustainable solutions that protect our environment . We also hope you consider joining this initiative and spread the word to others in your community. Please reach out to the AAC, members of the AAC Climate Task Force, or check out the AAC and partner organization websites for more information:
