Diesel school buses expose kids to toxic exhaust, harming their health. Electric buses emit zero exhaust and save up to 20 tonnes of CO₂/year. Clean air on the way to school isn't a privilege, it's a right. 🚌⚡(@forourkidscanada.bsky.social) forourkids.ca/electric_school_bus #OurKidsClimate #CleanAir

This is Agnes: a mother who would move the world for her children. 🎬 #JessieBuckley brought her to life and last night took home the Oscar. She dedicated it "to the beautiful chaos of a mother's heart." That's our fuel! Keep going, mamas. 💚 #OurKidsClimate #Oscars2026

For parents, air pollution isn’t numbers, it is kids with inhalers, masks, and unable to sleep at night. Thank you @bhavreenkandhari.bsky.social and #Warriormoms for speaking up for our children's right to breathe #CleanAir at a @uninvhrc.bsky.social event this week. It's #OurKidsAir. 💙🤍

According to UNESCO, only 33.3% of scientists worldwide are women, so on this #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience, we honor the women who protect with knowledge, and the girls who deserve a world where their curiosity can grow into power. 💪👩🏽‍🔬🌍 🎥 by @sciencemoms.bsky.social

When extreme heat pushes kids out of playgrounds, something is wrong. As long as we keep burning coal, oil, and gas, our world will keep heating up, and children will bear the cost. For all children everywhere, we need #ClimateActionNow! #OurKidsClimate @parentsforclimate.bsky.social

JP Amaral from the Alana Institute spoke about how crucial it is for children to be included in the #COP30 discussions and decisions that will shape their futures. @unicef.org

Astrid Puentes Riaño @srenvironment.bsky.social spoke about how the power of mothers should not be underestimated in climate discussions: "We're not sweet. We're fierce." @momscleanairforce.org @climatemama.bsky.social

Dr Jemilah Mahmood, Executive Director of the Sunway Centre for Planetary Health, spoke about her concerns as a doctor, but also as a Grandma. “It's very personal for me. But I think this is what health should be. It should be very personal. It should be founded on love.” @gchalliance.bsky.social

Catarina Nefertari, a Belem-based mother from our delegation, spoke about how climate change is impacting her daughter's daily live: "Sometimes when we want to go out to take her to play, we can't because it's really hot.”

A glimpse inside the TED Countdown House — a space for reflection, courage, and intergenerational climate leadership. From the entrance to the stage, this is where stories of care, love, and climate action came to life.

Our Kids’ Climate mothers’ delegation joined #TEDCountdownHouse at #COP30 to explore how love and care can spark deep, transformative climate action. Here’s Juliana from OKC, sharing what brought us here and why this gathering matters. 👇 Follow this thread for more moments from event.

The mamas are at #COP30 for Health Day 💚 The climate crisis is harming our children’s health - 90% of kids breathe toxic air. We need urgent action for clean air and a healthier planet. @cleanairfund.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social #CleanAir #ClimateAction

“We need to build solidarity networks for moms and carers.” Catarina Nefertari of Amazônia de Pé says climate action must also integrate the socio-economic realities that leave many women with no time to participate. #ProtectWhatWeLove #COP30

Mariana Menezes, Co-founder of Famílias pelo Clima, says parents from all over the world are calling on leaders to act so we can get through this together.

Among them was Mari, one of the Brazilian mothers in our delegation, who experienced firsthand the devastating floods that struck her region in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) in 2024.

Mothers and children united in one voice, calling for COP30 decisions that put care — and children — at the heart of the agenda.

At the intergenerational press conference held in partnership with Alana Institute, members of the Our Kids’ Climate delegation and the Children for Nature Fellowship shared powerful, real stories of how the climate crisis is already impacting their lives, families, and communities.
