The harmful effects of human activity on the environment are impacting populations and their ecosystems around the globe, threatening to set back development efforts by decades. Those with the fewest resources and opportunities will be most susceptible, particularly the most vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n

All net proceeds will go to organizations that prioritize real time solutions that facilitate environmental justice and sustainability, including Conservation International<\/strong><\/a>, American Rivers<\/strong><\/a>, World Wildlife Fund<\/strong><\/a>, REVERB<\/strong><\/a>, and the Playing For Change Foundation<\/strong><\/a>. Part of the funds raised will advance education programs led by the Playing For Change Foundation with the support of UNFPA to positively impact the lives and choices of adolescents and youth around the globe. <\/p>\n
