Discovering Climate Action: Caring for Planet Earth

Inspire environmental wonder in your little ones. The world around us is a wonderful place to explore and discover, all we need to do is learn to care for it. Climate action starts with every one of us. When children learn positive actions to protect our planet, they will build on them as they grow older. Every action, no matter how small, helps build awareness and adds to lasting impact. Positive changes like caring and respecting an outdoor space, giving thanks for the land we gather on, and building awareness of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13 - Climate Action will have a lasting impact on young children.
