It's here! Our 2026 Global Survey is now accepting responses! If you want your thoughts added to the Global Child Climate Manifesto and presented at COP31 and the Global Child Biodiversity Declaration to be presented at COP17, here is your chance!
Today's Art4Action looks a little different than usual. These are 4 different collages made by 4 different young girls at a science fair event we did last week here in Edmonton. All 4 pieces showcased very different feelings of love and fear for the world, its climate, and current situations.
Today, for World Day of Social Justice, we would like to introduce you to one of our volunteers, Sage! She is here to remind you of the importance of social action and how it can help the environment and people around you but helps to keep you from feeling hopeless.

Call for Action 7 covers the importance of funding child initiatives. Adequate funding supports student programs and lets the flourish without fear of instability and to simply focus on their mission. Without financial support, great minds may lose out on great opportunities. 🌏❤️
We often think children are too young to be included in the decision-making process but the truth is, it is exactly their future we are making decisions about. Not including them in that process is denying that fact and losing a unique perspective of the matter. All voices are important!
A few months ago at COP30, one of our CGE students, Carter Mochinski, had the oppurtunity to speak with the Deputy Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, Ms. Noura Hamladji. It is so incredible to hear her words of support and belief in our mission here at CGE! 🌏❤️
Every knowledge bank holds immense values for all situations in life. Combating climate change is no different. When speaking on areas we do not understand well, we must respect those that do and the knowledge they volunteer. This is Call for Action 5 - amplify Indigenous knowledge.
In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we are partnering with the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation to bring learners an exciting and interactive virtual experience! 🔬🌿
Applications for the 2026 Global Classroom are now open! 🎉 Sign up for a FREE, virtual, collaborative space where global educators can critically examine the tensions, and power dynamics of global citizenship, and co-develop practical, classroom-ready resources — buff.ly/dDzF0WX !
In order to effectively combat climate change, we must understand it. What better way to do so than to study our environments directly? When we are outside learning, we grow our relationship with nature and we learn things we couldn't inside. The issues become clearer and so do the solutions! 🦋

Climate change is a complex issue that requires complex solutions. Children know this. Leaving them out of the conversation leaves them helpless, without the tools to provide remedies in their local areas. Call to Action #1 of the Global Children Manifesto is to make climate education a right.
"Growing up in Egypt specifically, you can see how climate change has played a huge role on the rising summer heat, the changing Nile patterns that threaten water security, and even on the farmers. [...] Awareness equals action."
