Together We Make Earth Day

Personal · May 2026

In one week, the world celebrates Earth Day, and this year's theme says it all: Our Power, Our Planet. It's not just a slogan. It's a reminder that change doesn't come from the top down. It starts with us, together. And together, we've already come far.

What We've Achieved Together

We've just passed a milestone we're genuinely proud of. Over 2 million people have used ClimateHero and pledged to reduce their emissions by almost 4 million tonnes of CO₂ per year combined. That's no small thing.

And it doesn't stop there. Our community represents 165 countries, meaning over 80% of the world's nations are represented, from every corner of the world. You are, in other words, in very good company.

And the world outside confirms that what we do together actually works. Ten years ago, the world was heading toward 3.6°C of warming. Today the forecast is 2.6°C. A full degree better, thanks to decisions like the ones you make every day. It's still too warm, but we're on the right track and the pace is increasing every year.

Life is Meant to be Lived, Not Survived

Lifestyle changes are not about giving up what gives life meaning. It's about finding ways that create a more meaningful everyday life, for you and for the planet. Shift your consumption toward more sustainable alternatives, support the technology development that makes a difference, like sustainable aviation fuel, and where it feels possible, reduce your consumption. Every step counts.

Companies Are Doing Their Part

Ahead of Earth Day, more and more companies are mobilising their employees and customers through their own version of our climate calculator. Think about the power that's unleashed when a company takes responsibility for engaging people in the climate issue at once.

After Earth Day, we'll present a leaderboard where we can all see which companies have engaged the most people. Companies can follow their own impact at an aggregated level in real time.
