Collective Action for SDG’s: 6, 7, 12, 14 and 15
The climate crisis is no longer a distant concern—it is a pressing reality impacting lives and ecosystems around the world. As Soroptimists, we have a duty to act – not just as individuals, but together as a global force for change. Our actions—big or small matter.
SI President 2024 –2025, Siew Yong Gnanalingam is asking all Soroptimists and Clubs to take meaningful action to address the climate crisis and care for our environment. Whether through tree planting, reducing waste, promoting clean energy, or advocating for climate justice—your contribution is vital.
To mark the final months of her biennium, President Siew Yong invites you to share your impact. Please submit a video clip (maximum 3 minutes) showing how you or your Soroptimist Club are taking steps to combat climate change or protect the environment. These clips will form part of a powerful compilation video to be released on 24 October 2025 —International Day of Climate Action.
