You’ll be joined by global leaders, activists, actors and musicians, including Pope Francis, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, Former Vice President Al Gore, Zac Efron, Dave Mathews, Jason Mraz, Dr. Sylvia Earle, Christiana Figueres and many more.

Climate change threatens already vulnerable communities most, and those at risk of climate impacts are those individuals who least contribute to climate change. We’re fighting for a cleaner, safer, more just and sustainable world that protects and supports all of us.
The urgency has never been greater, and the stakes have never been higher — we face mass extinction of species, catastrophic pollution of oceans, destruction of communities and displacement of millions.
We know that the fight for climate change takes more than a day — it takes a movement. That’s why Earth Day Network works across diverse programs to mobilize citizens on climate action and provide people with new, meaningful ways to act, with campaigns like Vote Earth, Earth Challenge 2020 and the Great Global Cleanup.
On #EarthDay2020, we seize all the tools and actions that we have, big and small, to change our lives and change our world, not for one day, but forever.
Together, Earth Day Network
