Last Sunday, families across Mexico got on their bikes and took to the streets together. 🚲

This was the first-ever Masita Crítica (Masita crítica): a family-led ride in 12 Mexican cities demanding safe streets, clean air, and real action to protect children’s health.

Our Kids’ Climate fellow and member of our Clean Air Circle, Areli Carreón, helped make it happen, and more than 1,000 kids, parents, and caregivers showed up. ✨🌎

It isn’t inevitable that children grow up breathing polluted air and navigating streets designed for cars. These are choices, and we can change them.

This is what parent power looks like. 💚🤍❤️

Last week, we were on the ground at the Lisbon Future Dialogue and asked people one question: “What does renewable energy mean to you? And, if you’re a parent, why is this important to you, as a mom or dad?”☀️🍃💡

The energy at the conference was something else: youth and seasoned leaders, activists and CEOs, NGOs and policymakers, all in the same space, facing solutions together. And that’s exactly who we found when we asked around.

A mother and sustainability researcher from Norway. A father and CEO with 30 years in the energy sector. A young activist representing the next generation, from West Africa and the Netherlands.

Three voices, three stories, and one clear message: we all have a responsibility to act, for our kids, and for everybody’s kids. Because this shift to clean, renewable energy is also about the right to a future and a present that is fair, inclusive, and just. 🌍🧡

Lisbon is sweltering. And so is the conversation. 🌍🔥

Our co-director Maya Mailer is at the Lisbon Future Dialogue this week, a gathering of leaders, policymakers, and innovators pushing to accelerate the shift to clean, renewable energy. And while leaders talk energy, we talk about our kids.

“The climate crisis is here. It’s real. It’s affecting our kids.”

This shift to clean, renewable energy isn’t just about the energy system. It’s about what matters most to families: clean air, healthy children, and a future worth inheriting.

Our Head of Comms, Rebecca Wynn, joined Tom Clark on the Communicating Earth podcast, and this one hit close to home. 🧡

When asked how she defines herself; activist, campaigner, advocate? Becky’s answer was raw and deeply personal.

She was pregnant with her first child when she came across a climate report with the dates we all know: 2030, 2050. And for the first time, she did the math: her son would be 17 in 2030, in his mid-30s in 2050.

“It really got me in a visceral kind of, in my gut, way.”

That moment changed everything. And it’s that same gut feeling that brings so many parents into this movement.

Every child has the right to breathe clean air. 👶🏿🧒🏼💨☀️👧🏽🧒🏻

That’s not a slogan, it’s a human right. And it’s the foundation of a new children’s activity book we’re proud to share from our friend/former fellow and UN Special Rapporteur Astrid Puentes Riaño (): “I Have the Right to Breathe Clean Air”.

The book was created by , the Environmental and Climate Justice Laboratory at Universidad Iberoamericana, and is rooted in Astrid’s UN report on clean air and the right to a healthy environment. It’s designed for early readers, with activities, space to draw and imagine, and questions meant to open up real conversations between kids and the adults who love them.

Most children in the world do not breathe clean air. And that’s not an accident, it’s the result of choices, about which fuels we burn, which communities we protect, and whose health we prioritize. Books like this help children name what’s happening and imagine something better. That matters.

The book is free and available in five languages! English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Purépecha. Swipe 👉 to see the covers.

Next Tuesday, we begin.

We’ve created a new training program for parents and caregivers who want to ✨really✨ campaign for a world powered by clean energy instead of coal, oil, and gas.

Seven sessions, seven topics. From busting myths about renewables to building successful community campaigns on clean energy.

The first session is May 26, and there are still spots open! If you want to join, or know someone who should, email us at [email protected]. We’re holding two time slots every month to make sure people can join from anywhere in the world. 🌍 🧡

Two in three parents in the US experienced extreme weather in the past two years. Floods, wildfires, heat waves, hurricanes. And 78% of them worried, deeply, about what it means for their children (Source: RAPID survey).

For too long, climate change has been treated as a problem of the future. It isn’t. From scorching heat across India and Pakistan to devastating floods in Kenya and Yemen, parents everywhere are feeling it right now, and families in the Global South are bearing the heaviest burden.

A new article by Dr. Joan Lombardi (Adjunct Professor at Stanford University), published by Stanford’s RAPID Survey Project (), puts numbers to what we already know: burning coal, oil, and gas is disrupting family life, from school closures to health impacts, from displacement to rising utility bills.

The article also names Our Kids’ Climate as an anchor for the global parent movement, connecting organizations in more than 50 countries pushing for a world that runs on clean, safe, renewable energy. 💛🌍🧡

We are showing up for our kids, for all kids. Because they can’t wait.

Something’s been happening. 💡🌞

Lately, parents, grandparents, and caregivers around the world have been showing up in the streets, in parliaments, in communities, all pushing for the same thing: a world powered by clean, renewable energy instead of coal, oil and gas. From different places and languages, but with the same love and direction.

This is what it looks like when families decide the world their kids deserve is worth fighting for. And seeing just how many of us there are, all moving together, that’s what makes us stronger. We are proud to stand alongside each of you! 🧡🌍
