Some may ask: what have I got to do with climate change? The truth is that this question can become a starting point for a deeper and more positive understanding of our role as mothers in the face of this global crisis.

When we talk about climate change, images of natural disasters, melting ice and rising temperatures often come to mind. But for us as mothers, our thoughts go somewhere else entirely, somewhere closer to the heart. Motherhood opens up new windows of concern, not only about everything about our children, from their health and education to their happiness and well-being, but also about their future. We want to provide them with a healthy environment, a safe place to play and grow, and a nature that is full of beauty and diversity. But as the threat of climate change grows, we are increasingly concerned about whether our children will be able to enjoy the natural resources we enjoy today.

Climate change is one of those things that can affect every aspect of our children’s lives today and in the future. We need to recognise the importance of the issue, not only as an environmental issue, but also as a personal issue that affects the safety and future of future generations. Concern can be a catalyst for change, and we can use it to motivate us to take action.

As mothers, we are our children’s first role models, and what we do has a huge impact on shaping their habits and behaviours. By adopting eco-friendly practices, such as reducing the use of plastic, adopting sustainable habits in our daily lives, encouraging our children to participate in local activities to protect the environment and encouraging them to think positively and creatively about their future, we can teach our children how to protect Mother Earth. This not only contributes to environmental conservation, but also creates a generation that is aware and responsible for the preservation of our planet.

As well as influencing our children, we as mothers can also be a driving force for change in society. By encouraging dialogue, participating in community activities, environmental initiatives and communicating with decision makers, we can be part of a wider movement for change. Climate change is not just a scientific or environmental issue to be left to specialists and experts, but a social issue that requires the efforts of all of us.
If you’re a mum and you’re thinking about me and climate change, remember that we mums are capable of taking on the challenges and making a real difference for our children and our planet. We know that every small step we take today is a building block in building a safer, happier and more loving world for our children tomorrow.
