WE ARE UNITING TO PROTECT THE KIDS WE LOVE FROM THE CLIMATE CRISIS
Our Kids’ Climate was started in 2015, by Swedish parent group Vara Barns Klimat to bring the perspective of concerned parents to the Paris Climate Summit.
Since then, we have grown into a dynamic network of 58 parent groups from 23 countries around the world, deploying diverse organizing strategies to push for bold climate action.
We believe parent-led actions can resonate with diverse publics and policymakers, many of whom are parents and grandparents themselves, and can cut across ideological and political boundaries.
Our Kids’ Climate works to support, amplify, and connect climate-parent leaders and organizations.
WE DEMAND THAT LEADERS MAKE A #CLIMATEPROMISE FOR OUR KIDS
Commit to treating climate change as the global crisis that it is, to work to quickly stabilise global temperatures, and completely decarbonise our economies.
Commit to working towards a rapid and just transition of our societies to clean, renewable energy and increase resilience to climate impacts, ensuring we support those countries, people and groups most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
Commit to challenging the governments and companies that are clinging to unsustainable business models, making sure they work to secure a thriving future for all humanity.
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 (micro-grant 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.
