Welcome to Climate Kids! We are so glad you are here.
As you may have heard, the Earth needs our help. Our global climate is changing and this will impact our communities, both human and natural. This is a big problem and it will take us thinking creatively to come up with solutions.
As scientists, Climate Kids (that's you!) have three very important jobs:
FIND THE PROBLEM
DISCOVER SOLUTIONS
TELL YOUR STORY!
The Climate Science Alliance and Climate Kids team have worked closely with our network of partners to create the tools, trainings, and resources you need to complete these important steps to help protect the earth. Here, you'll find science, art, and storytelling resources for all ages. Have fun, and thank you for your hard work!
our mission
Climate Kids is a series of community-based collaborative projects that provide youth education on climate change through science activities, storytelling, and art. Each Climate Kids project brings together local artists, scientists, educators, and storytellers to engage students of all socioeconomic levels and inspire them to become environmental stewards.
Through partnerships with climate scientists and qualified educators, we encourage curiosity about the natural world while providing youth the tools necessary to make educated decisions about how to protect our planet in the future.
