What is climate action corps?

OIA members who participate in the Climate Action Corps commit to collaboratively developing climate change solutions and implementing them in our organizations and throughout our value chains. We take bold, collective action against climate change by reducing and removing greenhouse gas emissions across the outdoor industry, carving a new, bold path for others to follow. Our objective is to drive the outdoor industry towards reducing our collective emissions 50% by 2030, and to achieve net-zero by 2050 in order to reduce the worst impacts from climate change, and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
