Talk Climate resource pages are designed to support child-centered climate communication, to provide justice-based climate education for caregivers, and to offer ways to take climate action.

According to The Lancet, today's children are affected by climate change at every stage of development. Caregivers, as health advocates, and are well positioned to take action for the health and future of all children.

"It’s the little things that citizens do. That’s what will make the difference. My little thing is planting trees.”
