We're filing a complaint to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child on behalf of 16 youth leaders because the climate crisis is our problem to fix, not their burden to bear.


Our children are demanding we step up.

Hundreds of thousands of young people took to the streets around the world on Friday to bring attention to the climate emergency and to demand bold action. Many of you answered their call and joined them.

Today, they are asking for your support once again.

As the UN Climate Action Summit kicks off, 16 children from across the world are doing something unprecedented. They are filing a formal complaint about climate change to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child. Their petition calls out five of the world's leading economic powers for their inaction on the climate crisis.

These youth activists are fighting for their future. Will you pledge to fight with them?

The youngest among us are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and they will bear the burden far greater and longer than today's adults.

These 16 young people come from Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, India, the Marshall Islands, Nigeria, Palau, South Africa, Sweden, Tunisia, and the United States and they all have one thing in common: They have already suffered the impacts of the climate crisis.

These young people are asking adult leaders to take this threat seriously. We owe it to these 16 children and children everywhere in the world to do everything we can to solve our climate crisis and protect their rights to a livable future. Add your name to show your support.
