Start by exploring our comics to learn about climate change in a fun and visual way.

• Each comic covers a key idea... from changing seasons to everyday actions that help the planet.

• Discuss them in class or at home.

Click on the links below for some of our climate comics:

1. Weather and climate. What is the difference?

2. The greenhouse effect. Why is the Earth getting hot?

3. Ocean warming. The heat beneath the waves.

Select one of these themes for your artwork:

​

Theme 1: Our Changing World

Paint what climate change looks like where you live. Are there hotter summers or heavier rains? Or changes in the skies, trees and animals? Do you see something hopeful, like community gardens or electric buses? You can also paint events happening in other parts of the world.

​

Theme 2: Small Steps, Big Change

Imagine how children, families, and communities can care for the Earth. What new ideas could help plants, animals, and people stay healthy? You can also show everyday actions, such as planting trees, saving energy, or keeping parks clean.

​

Theme 3: The World We Want to See

Imagine and paint the kind of Earth you’d love to live in. Or suggest the types of inventions, habits, or community projects that could make our planet greener, fairer, and full of life?

Use your imagination to express what you’ve learned through the comics.
