This is what our summers feel like now.

Parents and caregivers around the world have opened up to us about this heat: the fear at bedtime, the canceled park days, the guilt of watching their kids stuck inside when they should be outside. Different homes, different languages, the same worry.

This is the reality of parenting in a climate crisis - and as parents we are calling for change. Coal, oil, and gas are trapping heat in our atmosphere, and it’s our kids paying the price. We need an urgent shift from dirty fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy.

We want summers our kids can actually enjoy. ☀️💦🌿🛝

Love, when it’s fierce enough, becomes a movement.

Clarissa Canova knows this well. She’s a mother, co-founder of Mães pelo Clima (Mothers for Climate) in Brazil, a member of our Clean Air Circle, and part of Our Kids’ Climate’s delegation of mothers at COP30 in Belém (Brazil), where she also launched “O Ar que Respiramos” (The Air We Breathe), a children’s book on the air we all depend on.

Recently, she took the stage at TEDxGuarulhos, an independently organized, locally driven TEDx event in São Paulo, Brazil, to share how maternal care becomes climate action.

“There is no caring for the planet without caring for the caregivers.”

We believe this too. Every parent, grandparent, and caregiver protecting a child’s present and future is already doing the work, in their kitchens, their communities, and on the world stage.

What’s it like to be pregnant in a heatwave?🤰🏽🌡️

When she spoke to us last month, Dr. Vaaruni Ravishankar was 8 months pregnant. She’s a dermatologist in Chennai, India, which means she sees this heat crisis from both sides: as a patient, and as a doctor.

“The word that summarizes everything is exhausted,” she says. Pregnancy already asks a lot of the body. Extreme heat piles on dehydration, heat stroke, skin infections, and breathlessness.

A study from her own city backs this up: researchers at Chennai’s Sri Ramachandra Institute (.official) followed 800 pregnant women and found that those working through extreme heat were twice as likely to lose their baby to stillbirth or miscarriage. Research backed by Wellcome () shows the same pattern globally, from India to the UK.

This is what the climate crisis looks like before it becomes a headline: in bodies, in pregnancies, in exhausted mothers. Pregnant women and babies need protection from the heat we are already experiencing, and every fraction of warming we prevent now helps keep mothers and babies safer in the future. We must end our dependence on fossil fuels, fast. No mother or baby should have to bear the cost of a warming world. ☀️🤱🏽🌳

Can the energy choices we make help shape a more peaceful world?

We’re delighted to be joined by Svitlana Romanko, founder and director of Razom We Stand, for a vital conversation about energy, power, and conflict on Tuesday July 28.

Razom We Stand, is a Ukrainian organization born out of the global campaign, focused on ending the fossil fuel dependence that funds Russia’s war against Ukraine, and accelerating the shift to clean, renewable energy. An environmental lawyer for over 20 years and a climate justice campaigner for a decade, Svitlana was awarded the Rose Braz Award for Bold Activism in 2022.

She joins us for Session 3 of our Clean Energy Campaign Training: “Energy Is Power - Who Controls It?”. Bring your questions. Bring your perspective. Join a global conversation about what is needed to build a safer, more just future.

There are two time slots to make it easier to participate across timezones.

How many more summers like this before our leaders act?

This is a child at the top of the CN Tower (Toronto, Canada), straining to see a skyline swallowed by wildfire smoke. The worst part? This isn’t just one city’s story. Over the past month, families across continents have endured record-breaking heat, lived under hazy skies, checked the same air quality alerts, and wondered how this became normal.

It isn’t normal, and it isn’t just how things have always been. This has a name. It’s Big Oil and fossil fuel companies pushing coal, oil, and gas for decades while hiding what they knew, and delaying every solution we needed. The science is clear: heat-trapping pollution is what fuels the hot, dry conditions behind fires like these.

Parents, grandparents, and caregivers: we’re done letting headlines about heat and haze leave out who’s responsible.
We have the solutions. Clean, renewable energy is ready now. We want leaders who choose our kids over polluters’ profits.

📢 Share this if you’re done waiting. Enough is enough.

“Before air pollution becomes a statistic, it is someone’s lived experience.”

These are the words of Xoli Fuyani (Xoli.Fuyani______), a mother, founder of Black Girls Rising (Black Girls Rising), and a member of our Clean Air Circle, who gave the opening keynote at Africa Clean Air Forum (Africa Clean Air Network) in Pretoria, South Africa earlier this week.

Her keynote centered on girls from Khayelitsha township in Cape Town, who are mapping air pollution in community playgrounds, and mothers in Amboseli, Kenya, who are having conversations about cleaner cooking.

She told the room of scientists, policymakers, researchers, and civil society to “invest not only in monitoring air pollution, but in listening to the people living with it every day […] because communities most affected by air pollution are also the communities with some of the most practical, creative and locally rooted solutions.”

Thank you, Xoli, for your wisdom and heartfelt advocacy. The words in the image also come from Xoli’s powerful keynote. ❤️✨

Energy. Abundant. Clean. Reliable. Renewable. A future like that doesn’t build itself. It takes people, connected across borders and languages, who refuse to stop believing it’s possible. ☀️⚡✨

Since May, every month, parents, grandparents, and caregivers from around the world have been coming together to learn, share, and spark ideas about how to push for clean energy in their own communities. 🌍 📢 ⚡🙌

This illustration was created in our first session by Chandra Bocci (Chandra Bocci), Artist-in-Residence for our Clean Energy Campaign Training, capturing what this community is building together.

This month, the conversation is about power - who controls energy, and what that means for our kids’ safety and future. Session 3 is July 28, and there’s still time to join!

Imagine someone you love opening a letter from you in 2050. What would you want them to know about the choices you made to help protect their future? 💌

That’s the question at the heart of DearTomorrow. Thousands of people have answered it: writing to their kids, their grandchildren, their future selves, a child not yet born into the family, or simply someone they hold close. Every letter is rooted in a relationship, real or hoped for, and in what someone chooses to do, right now, to help build a better 2050 for them.

This is DearTomorrow, co-founded by Jill Kubit. 💙🌿 Jill is dear to our whole Our Kids’ Climate family; she co-founded us too, and has spent years dedicated to growing and supporting the global movement of parents standing up on climate change.

During London Climate Action Week (London Climate Action Week), in the middle of a scorching heatwave, DearTomorrow set up their letter-writing pop-up at Earthfest (Earthfest 2026), inviting people to pause, right there in the heat, and write to someone they love. As DearTomorrow puts it: connecting hearts and minds to the climate crisis can be as simple as writing that letter. ✨

Swipe through ➡️ to see some of the letters from London, and watch Jill introduce the project in her own words.

Then, head to the link in our bio. You can write your own letter to 2050, or read through the ones already written; both are waiting for you, right there. 🌍✍️
