Parent Letter to World Leaders
We, the parents
More than 150 leading parents from the arts, entertainment, sport, science, civil society, and business have signed an open letter, led by Our Kids’ Climate, urging world leaders to end our dangerous dependence on fossil fuels for the sake of the children of today and tomorrow.
Parents who have signed include Angelique Kidjo, Christiana Figueres, Don Cheadle, Dame Emma Thompson, Princess Esmeralda of Belgium, Julianne Moore, Khaled Hosseini, Robert Redford, Tasneem Essop, Mayor of Freetown Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, and many more.
The letter has been spearheaded by Our Kids’ Climate, as part of an effort taking place during Climate Week NYC supported by Groundswell (Global Optimism), Save the Children International, Potential Energy, C40 Cities, Climate Crisis Advisory Group, WE ARE FAMILY FOUNDATION, and the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, which seeks to harness the power of love-led climate action to #ProtectWhatWeLove.
The letter was released alongside a powerful video produced by the Potential Energy Coalition, which was informed by the organization’s research that found the number one reason people around the world care about climate change is to protect children and future generations.
As parents, we move mountains for our children everyday. For the love of our children, and children everywhere, we can move mountains on climate too!
Read the letter, view the signatories and then add your name to this powerful call!
Dear World Leaders,
Ahead of the United Nations Summit of the Future, children and young people from around the world are mobilizing to secure the right to a livable future. As parents, we must, too, raise our voice to protect what we love: our children and precious planet. The burning of fossil fuels drives the climate crisis, harming children now and stealing their futures. It is crucial that the Summit makes an unambiguous commitment to a just and fair transition away from fossil fuels. And it is crucial that you, as world leaders, and indeed as parents, make good on that commitment, so that we can pass on a healthy planet to our children.
The reality of climate breakdown is painfully clear. Millions of children are suffering. We have seen super-strength hurricanes in the Caribbean, record-smashing heat waves across the U.S., Asia and East Africa, destructive wildfires from Greece to Canada, and unprecedented flooding in Brazil, North Africa, Pakistan and the UAE. All too often, it is communities that have contributed the least to carbon pollution that are being hit first and worst. But everyone, everywhere is affected.
99 percent of us breathe dirty air. Children are especially vulnerable: polluted air lodges inside their growing bodies, causing and aggravating diseases from asthma to cancer. Children’s physiology also makes them vulnerable to extreme heat. 559 million children are currently exposed to frequent heat waves, with this number expected to surge to over two billion worldwide by 2050. Virtually all children on earth.
The science is clear: the burning of coal, gas and oil is the main cause of the climate crisis and air pollution. At the same time, exponential progress in clean technologies means a safer world for all is now within reach.Today’s young people and future generations need leaders to seize this better future.
We applaud you for coming together to find a path to create a safer world for our children. To be worthy of its name, the Summit of the Future must be a reset moment. We want our children to inherit a world in which they can breathe clean air, enjoy nature, and meet their potential without threat from ever-worsening climate disasters. For this to happen, we must end our dangerous dependence on fossil fuels.
The majority support decisive action: 77% of the global population want their government to do whatever it takes to limit the effects of climate change. Next year, countries must present updated climate plans to the UN. These plans are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to respond to this global mandate for action.
As scientists, artists, sportspeople, people of faith, city mayors, authors and illustrators, and leaders of business and civil society, we urge you to accelerate a fossil fuel phase out, and commit to a fair, fast and funded transition to clean, safe renewable energy.
We, the parents, simply wish for a decent future for our children, and all children. You have the power to protect what we love. For the children of today and tomorrow, we are counting on you.
