• IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE RIGHT NOW

  December 9, 2008

  According to the United Nations the impact of climate change could uproot around six million people each year, half of them because of weather disasters like floods and storms. These extreme weather disasters such as more intense storms and more frequent floods and droughts are already occurring and vulnerable people around the world are already suffering the consequences.
  According to the U.N. refugee agency, in addition to limiting greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change aid agencies and individuals must also boost the relief supplies they keep in stock for emergencies by 10 to 20 times and be better prepared to aid almost three million people a year displaced by sudden disasters.
  Climate change and natural disasters are interrelated. We must all be aware of fact and be prepared to take action as this crisis is not something coming in the future but it is a problem that is affecting people right now.

  WHO WE ARE MUSIC FOR RELIEF is a grassroots effort comprised of musicians, music industry professionals and fans who believe that together we can create positive change.
  
  
  
  OUR MISSION To respond to natural disasters and help victims recover and rebuild with an emphasis on housing, education programs and resources. MUSIC FOR RELIEF also recognizes the environmental consequences of global warming, which has demonstrated the capability to accelerate and strengthen certain types of natural disasters. Therefore the second goal of MUSIC FOR RELIEF is to prevent and decrease future natural disasters by reducing greenhouse gasses, seeking renewable forms of energy and educating the public about climate change.
  
  
  
  BACKGROUND Established in 2005 to provide aid for those affected by the tsunami tragedy in South Asia, the idea for MUSIC FOR RELIEF originated amongst the members of the band Linkin Park who wanted to do something to help the victims. The idea was that if they made a donation, and then asked their musician peers and their fans to make a donation as well, a huge impact could be made in assisting relief efforts. With this in mind they started reaching out to others in the music community to get involved and became the founders of MUSIC FOR RELIEF.
