EARTHDAY.ORG’s founders created and organized the very first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. Since then, Earth Day Network has been mobilizing over 1 billion people annually on Earth Day, and every other day, to protect the planet.

This Earth Day, people of all backgrounds and generations are called to stand shoulder to shoulder in defense of the only home we share. Join us on Saturday, April 18, Earth Day on April 22, and throughout 2026 to lift your voice, take action, and show your love for Planet Earth. When we stand together, our planet has a future.

Tracking mandatory climate education worldwide

We recognize the vital role of education in preparing communities to address the climate crisis. The European Union has taken a historic step by embedding climate education into school curricula from kindergarten through grade 12 as part of its 2025 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement.
