We are a global family of changemakers working together to protect our kids from climate breakdown.

Our Kids' Climate strengthens the power of parents, carers and families to create lasting change. 🧡

Ten years ago, Jill Kubit, co-founder of Our Kids’ Climate and DearTomorrow, stood on the TED stage in New York with an idea that felt almost too simple: what if we talked about climate change from a place of love? 💚

Back then, her son Gabriel was a toddler. Today he’s 13, and the years she spoke about are already here.

So much of it still holds. Children around the world are already living through extreme heat, floods, and dirty air, and love for them is still what moves us to act.

“What gives me hope is that change rarely moves in a straight line. It builds slowly, and then it speeds up.” ✨🌍

This idea is where both our organizations grew from.

The world we want for our kids is possible. And it’s closer than it looks. ☀️💚🌎

Picture our kids breathing clean air on the walk to school, playing in green spaces, and growing up in homes powered by the sun.

That world is already being built. Solar panels on rooftops, wind turbines on hillsides, and communities everywhere choosing clean, healthy energy.

Climate change is already making heatwaves, floods, and wildfires more frequent and more extreme in our kids’ lives. Burning coal, oil, and gas brought us here. Now we can leave them behind.

As parents, grandparents, and caregivers, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s possible, and we’re not going back. Let’s step into it together! ✨👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏼👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏿👨🏾‍🤝‍👨🏿 ⚡

What would you write to your child about the world they’re growing up in? 🧡

Yasmina Hasni, a mother of two in Jakarta, Indonesia, founder of Peri Bumi (Peri Bumi), and one of our former Fellows, put it in a letter to her teenage son: “I only knew that I would do anything — anything — to make sure the world you inherit is worth living in.”

In Jakarta, her kids already live with polluted air and the extreme heat climate change brings. So she brought other mothers together. Since 2021, Peri Bumi has grown into a community of 200 mothers, running workshops for mothers, teachers, and children.

Love like hers is how we build a world powered by clean energy, where every child can breathe clean air and play outside.

Thank you, Yasmina, for letting us share your words.

One year ago, we lost Jane Goodall.

A fierce protector of the natural world, a scientist who dedicated her life to studying chimpanzees,and a true ally to every parent, grandparent, and caregiver standing up for children.

She met young people who had lost hope, and she kept showing up for them. We carry that with us. In every call for leaders to act on climate change, and in every step toward a world rooted in renewables, where our kids can breathe clean air and grow up close to nature.

Thank you, Jane. We’ll keep going. 💚

Last week, Bhavreen Kandhari (), co-founder of .in and a member of our Clean Air Circle, took the stage at NY Climate Week to talk about the air our kids breathe.

She spoke on the AIR panel of The Earth Has a Song, hosted by and , an event that brought together women from around the world to share their wisdom on nature, climate change, and our shared planet. 🌿🌎✨

Her fight started with a mother’s worry: in 2003, she almost lost her premature twin daughters. Her determination to protect them, and to find answers about the air they were breathing, is what built Warrior Moms.

Dirty energy from fossil fuels is driving climate change and polluting the air our children breathe. Clean energy means clean air, and we won’t stop pushing for it.

Because when it’s our children, we keep going - until they have the healthy planet they deserve.

Thank you, Bhavreen, for showing us what that looks like! 💪💚

Let’s plug into the sun! ☀️ 🔌

Our Kids' Climate is proud to support the 300 Million Solar Homes initiative, brought together by the Global Solar Council and a growing coalition of changemakers, including Solar Citizens and Global Covenant of Mayors

Rooftop solar on homes and schools can be transformative for families and communities. ✨

It means:

🏠 Homes & schools that stay cool in extreme heat

📚 Kids who can do their homework after dark

🥫 Food & medicine safely stored

💸 Lower bills & cleaner air

🌱 A safer future for our kids.

The ambition of this new initiative is to reach 300 million solar homes by 2030, and to do it in a way that is both fast and fair, making sure ordinary families can harness the power of the sun. ☀️

Together we can ! 🏠

We’re so excited to welcome Bill McKibben to our next session on clean energy! ⚡

Bill McKibben is a leading voice in the climate movement. He co-founded the dynamic grassroots organization 350.org and went on to found Third Act, which mobilizes people over 60 to take action on climate change. He is a stalwart in the fight to end fossil fuels and the author of more than twenty books, including the bestseller “The End of Nature” and, most recently, “Here Comes The Sun”.

Bill will be talking to us about the transformative power of the Sun. ☀️ Solar energy offers some of the cheapest power on the planet - and is growing faster than ever. It also has the potential to put power directly into the hands of families and communities. ✨ 🤝 ⚡

Join us on:

🕒 3:00 PM UTC Tuesday 29 September 2026

📩 Email [email protected] to join.

This session is part of Our Kids’ Climate’s clean energy training series running until November this year.

Love is the spark that makes things happen. The force that helps us do more, reach further, and make change possible.

That’s why we back parents to take action on climate change.

Because when we’re doing it for the children we love - and for the world they’ll inherit - there’s no stopping us.
Since 2020, Our Kids’ Climate has supported parent-led and family-focused climate work through our Microgrants program, funding 130 groups in 50 countries.

We have backed 172 different projects and distributed over $500,000 for locally-led climate action around the world.

This year, our Microgrants program is putting resources directly into the hands of 22 groups of parents and caregivers across 15 countries.

They’re leading climate action in their own communities: measuring air quality in Colombia, installing solar panels in girls’ classrooms in Pakistan, training parents in Poland to read pollution data outside their kids’ schools, bringing solar power to families in Nigeria, and so much more.

Congratulations to every group receiving a 2026 Microgrant. This is what showing up for our kids looks like.

Our children deserve to grow up healthy on a thriving planet. Let’s make it happen! 🌍🧡

What is it like to parent through relentless summer heatwaves?

Bongi is a mum of two from Brighton, UK. Her youngest daughter is only 8 months old and she’s already lived through six heatwaves. Five of them in the UK, and one more on a family trip across Europe. Six heatwaves, before she can even walk. 🥵🔥

And it’s not just uncomfortable, it’s a real worry, because as Bongi puts it extreme heat “can have serious health consequences.” Kids’ bodies struggle to regulate temperature, and “this impacts their breathing, their sleep, and their overall wellbeing.”

Parents are doing everything they can: paddling pools, closed curtains, hydration, days stuck indoors because the playground is just too hot to touch. But there’s only so much a parent can control.

10.7 million children in the UK, three in every four, were exposed to extreme heatwaves from January to mid-July this year. The highest number since 1995. (Source: ).

That’s why Bongi’s calling on leaders to act: adapt our cities - schools and nurseries need to be built for this new reality - and cut emissions fast, moving away from fossil fuels and investing in clean, renewable energy. ☀️🌿🌍

Our kids have already inherited summers that are hotter than they should be. We need the people in power to act now - because this burning summer can’t become the coolest summer they’ll ever know. 🧡
