Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun's activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas."

Young people call for climate education - #LearnForOurPlanet !

We don't have time to sit on our hands as our planet burns. For young people, climate change is bigger than election or re-election. It's life or death. - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, US Politician & Activist


Sadly, what this young activist at a UN conference had to say in 1992, is more than true today!

Happily, there are many young activists dealing with the climate crisis right now. Their energy and enthusiasm puts older people and particularly governments to shame!
For example, here's Kenya's youngest environmental ambassador, 10-year-old Karen Kimani.

There's so many more young activists on the go we've had to place them on a separate page!
