#CHANGEOURCLIMATE

Teens are the first generation to feel the severe impact of climate change and the last generation who can reverse the clock. According to Pew Research, approximately 45% of Gen Z social media users say they’ve engaged with climate-related content in some way, such as by interacting with or sharing a post about the need for climate action or following an account focused on the cause.

Created by passionate teens at the Global Co Lab, the #ChangOurClimate Pledge encourages you to change just one daily habit to positively impact your carbon footprint.

We know that small actions can lead to massive change, so we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Your work doesn’t stop at taking the pledge! We’ll send you check-in emails on your journey to #ChangeOurClimate and help keep you accountable to lower your emissions!

Our pledge isn’t just about doing what’s right—it’s about making it easy. With educational resources at your fingertips and a community of like-minded peers, you’ll have everything you need to take action against climate change and inspire others to do the same.

Let’s work together to make our planet a healthier place for everyone!

When we say “Before it Changes Us,” we’re acknowledging the scientifically-backed urgency of addressing climate change now, before its impacts become completely irreversible.

There is still time.

The Earth’s temperature has already risen by 1.2°C since pre-industrial times, driving a cascade of consequences. Rising temperatures are disrupting ecosystems, leading to the loss of biodiversity as species struggle to adapt or face extinction. Human settlements are increasingly threatened by extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and shifting climate patterns, with coastal communities particularly at risk. The food chain is also under stress, as changes in temperature and precipitation patterns affect crop yields and marine life, threatening global food security. Immediate action is critical to curb these effects and protect our planet and ourselves from further harm.

Pledging to #ChangeOurClimate is more than just a promise; it’s a meaningful step towards a healthier planet. By making a commitment, you’re taking an active role in reducing your carbon footprint, one habit at a time. This pledge is designed to support you throughout your journey, providing regular check-ins and resources to keep you motivated and on track. But the impact doesn’t stop with you—by inspiring others to join, you’re helping to build a powerful social movement. Each person who takes the pledge contributes to a collective effort that can create lasting change for our planet.
