Rotary Takes on Climate Change
Ian Riseley, 2017-18 Rotary International president, has made the case that curbing climate change is essential to Rotary’s goal of global service. Riseley recently said, “Environmental degradation and global climate change are serious threats to everyone. They are having a disproportionate impact on those who are the most vulnerable, those to whom Rotary has the greatest responsibility.” President-elect Riseley has challenged every Rotary club in the world to make a difference by planting a tree for each of its members between the start of the Rotary year on July 1, 2017 and Earth Day on April 22, 2018. We ask everyone to join in Rotary’s challenge and to plant a tree.
