Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and climate change.

Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are broadly defined as private, philanthropic, and nonprofit organizations that aim to provide services for needy people and to challenge sociopolitical inequalities at local, national, or international levels. Oxfam, Greenpeace, the Red Cross, Save the Children, and Doctors Without Borders are a few high-profile NGOs that have been active in shaping climate change policies.
