This year’s big international climate change conference runs from Monday the 9th until Friday the 20th of November, and world leaders will join the talks on the 11th and 12th of November. It’s called COP31 and is being held in Antalya, in Türkiye. Representatives from almost every country in the world are meeting to help us all make global decisions and commitments to tackle climate change. But what about ‘little ME’ – how can I really make a difference? Are you ready for t

Enter another world … wondrous woods … fascinating fungi ... cobwebs beaded with dew … This week your challenge is to go exploring in the woods (with your parent/carer) – with a particular focus on finding fungi! Can you find some of these fungi in a decaying log on the ground, or in a wooded area near you? Use this simple fungi identification guide. Please DON’T TOUCH FUNGI – as some of them can be poisonous. You could also see how many different seed types you can find – co

Little glowing eyes follow you in the dark as you leave the room at night and when you go to school ... they just carry on glowing. Can you guess what these energy-sucking vampires are? Those little red or green eyes are the standby lights on many household appliances. How many can you find in your home? Can you count them? Were you surprised by the answer? Keep hunting, we expect you’ll come across more over the week. Your challenge this week is to see how many appliances an

We are all creatures of habit – we have ‘our way of doing things’, our ‘usuals’ – would you agree? How about food habits – what are yours? ‘I always have a KitKat at break time‘, ‘I choose cheese and onion crisps every Wednesday’, ‘I like dried fruit snacks when I come home from school’, ‘I buy a Fruit Shoot drink after football’, ‘I normally have a Cheestring in my packed lunch’ … Tackling climate change means we ALL need to make changes to how we live and the choices we m

‘That man’s got the best job in the world’ … said Theron, a Young Climate Warrior from London. What do you think is the best job in the world? Well, Theron was talking about a man who was picking up litter … helping to save our planet by looking after our natural world. You may, or may not, think that litter picking is the best job in the world … but taking action to protect our planet is super important! Your challenge this week is to go on a litter hunt. Take an empty

Talking, nattering, chatting, bantering, discussing, joking, arguing, theorising … This week the challenge is about talking and walking … both really important when it comes to tackling climate change. Whilst out walking, why not chat to your friends, cousins, grandparents, teachers, or neighbours about our natural world and how Young Climate Warriors, like yourself, are taking action to protect it. Maybe talk about some of the weekly challenges that you have undertaken and f

Do you need a bath? Hang on … do you REALLY need a bath? Do you need one every day? Could you skip a bath today, share your bath water, or have a shower instead? It’s Global Goals Week from the 19th to the 27th of September – time for thinking about children all around the world and how we can help end poverty, fight inequality and help combat climate change. Can you imagine waking up before dawn to trek to the nearest water source, and then carrying a filled water container

Let’s kick-start this Autumn term by taking action for climate change, whilst also helping our families reduce their electricity bills … a double whammy! Join Young Climate Warriors all around the UK taking up the challenge this week. Summer 2026 – record-breaking heatwaves and drought across Europe, and the UK’s hottest summer on record. Climate change is already impacting lives in the UK and those of other families across the world. Do you think it is just the governments

How many different patterns can you doodle – find the back of an old envelope and give it a try? Spirals, waves, stripes, tessellations, hexagons, semicircles, teardrops, rings, fractals, hearts, ovoids … these are all different shapes and patterns within nature’s awe-inspiring designs. This summer Young Climate Warriors are challenged to look out for shapes and patterns in nature – when you start looking they are everywhere! Take photos, make sketches or check out our Patter
