Insurance companies are raising premiums and dropping coverage while investing in fossil fuels.
The theme for Earth Day 2025 is OUR POWER, OUR PLANET, inviting everyone around the globe to unite behind renewable energy, and to triple the global generation of clean electricity by 2030. How? By joining us in Earth Action Day, encouraging all to take action—educate, advocate, and mobilize. Pledge an Earth Action on social media. Attend/plan/register a local event. Integrate Earth Day lessons into your curricula. Donate to support our efforts. Below you’ll find resources (plus quizzes, fact sheets, articles and more) to help you take action this Earth Day, April 22nd, and every day.
Our environmental legacy is a testament to the power of collective action, and it calls upon individuals, businesses, governments, and the private sector to join hands in safeguarding our planet. Now, more than ever, we must step up our efforts to combat climate change, protect biodiversity, and preserve our ecosystems. Join us and the Earth Day Network of supporters as we fight for a sustainable and thriving future
Inspire a lifetime of action. From the first Earth Day in 1970 to today, we’ve brought millions into the environmental movement. Help us expand the movement and empower new advocates to protect our planet, today and every day.
At EARTHDAY.ORG, we recognize the critical role education plays in empowering communities to tackle the climate crisis. To support global efforts for climate action, we’ve developed Earth Day’s Climate Education NDCs Tracker.
