Parents for Climate

🌏 Join us Tonight - for a special World Children’s Day event! 🌏   ➡️ Register now: https://lnkd.in/gP8x8h_b ⬅️ 🧒 👨👨👧 Today, we reflect on the future our children will inherit—and the actions we can take to ensure it’s a safe, healthy, and thriving one. 📊 Shocking statistics from UNICEF’s 'The Climate-Changed Child' report remind us of what’s at stake:  🌡️ 1.9 billion children - almost every child on Earth - are exposed to at least one climate or environmental hazard, such as extreme heat or flooding.  💔 850 million children - face extremely high risks due to overlapping vulnerabilities, including droughts, air pollution, and water scarcity.  💨 1 billion children - are at very high risk from dangerously high air pollution levels, a reality set to worsen without urgent climate action. 💯 These numbers aren’t just stats—they’re a call to action. 📢 As parents, we have a unique role to play. We must amplify our voices and advocate for solutions that protect both our children and our planet. 💡 Join us at “Calling All Parents!” to hear inspiring discussions on how families can lead the charge for bold climate action. Together, let’s ensure our children’s futures are shaped by opportunity—not climate crises. 📅 When: 20 Nov - 8PM AEDT | 7:30PM ACDT | 7PM AEST | 5PM AWST 🎙️ Featuring: World renowned parenting expert Steve Biddulph and political expert Sophia Walter ➡️ Register now: https://lnkd.in/gP8x8h_b ⬅️ 📖 Source: UNICEF, The Climate-Changed Child report, 2023.

Suzie Brown says "The only way to feel better about this darned ecological crisis is to take action together with others!" We ❤️ these reflections from the amazing mum/ climate warrior Suzie Brown on her local Parents for Climate group. Also l😍ving the kids creativity in recreating our logo, great 🙌 job. Read Suzie's words below👇: "Parents for Climate newest local group, Central Coast (NSW), has grown rapidly since our launch in August. We now have 10 active group leaders/members and a local mailing list of 300+. Last Sunday we did an all-day stall at the Woytopia sustainable living festival in Woy Woy and gathered 220 new subscribers through a petition to the Central Coast Council demanding that they do a Climate Action Plan. (Can you believe they don’t even have one? 🤔 Our council has been in administration for 7 years!). Last month at a picnic event we had our kids write & design a poster letter to each MP and the Council and we all signed it asking to meet with them - meetings coming up soon ! Know anyone in the NSW Central Coast (main towns are Gosford, Woy Woy, Terrigal, The Entrance, Wyong)? Put them onto us! https://lnkd.in/g7twq_4H " #collectiveaction #bettertogether #climatecommunity #activehope #familypoweredclimateaction Glen Barry
