WE ARE UNITING TO PROTECT THE KIDS WE LOVE FROM THE CLIMATE CRISIS
Our Kids’ Climate believes all children today and tomorrow should inherit a healthy planet and just world, rooted in renewable energy and built through intergenerational solidarity.
We aim to catalyze, support and enable effective strategies to advance bold and diverse climate action through a parent, intergenerational, and family friendly lens.
We work to build the strength and capacity of the growing parent and intergenerational movement worldwide.
PUT #KIDSFIRST IN #CLIMATEACTION!
Children across the world are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis. As climate disasters multiply, it is children on the frontline, both now and in the future.
One billion children today are extremely vulnerable to climate disasters, especially those in the Global South, even though those countries have done the least to contribute to carbon pollution.
Over 90 percent of children worldwide are breathing dirty, toxic air because of the burning of fossil fuels. This is harming their health and futures.
All children have a right to clean air, a healthy environment and a safe planet!
Our leaders must embrace life-saving renewable energy at pace; stop all new fossil fuel expansion and support a just transition.
Put #KidsFirst!
THE OUR KIDS CLIMATE TEAM
Our Kids’ Climate consists of a small, talented team of movement, campaigns, and communications experts who passionately believe in the power of the parent voice and intergenerational solidarity to drive climate action.
The Co-Directors of Our Kids’ Climate are Jill Kubit and Maya Mailer. Rebecca Wynn leads on communications, and Juliana Russar leads on operations.
They are supported by a wider community of experts and consultants, including Xoli Fuyani (membership and facilitation of OKC’s monthly community calls); Rowan Ryrie (fellowship program); Amuche Nnabueze and Anja Mondragon (microgrant program), Nina Subramani and Mary DeMocker (storytelling and communications), Sarah Roberts and Tinuke Otoki (fundraising).
Harriet Shugarman and Susan Pacheco are the inaugural co-chairs of the Advisory Council.
Our Kids’ Climate was founded by Jill Kubit, together with climate communicator and author Frida Berry Eklund.
Our team is growing. If you are interested in working or connecting with us please email us on hello@ourkidsclimate.org and one of our team will get back to you.
