OUR MISSION

OGC Mission Statement (27.02.26)

Our Grandchildren’s Climate (www.ourgrandchildrensclimate.org) is an organisation of Seniors (not only grandparents) who are working to bring about change and to ensure that the world where future generations grow up will be safe, healthy and just.

Our Aims

1. To grow awareness among seniors of the environment and climate emergency;

2. To engage with children and young people’s groups to help with understanding of the climate emergency, and offer support and ideas about adaptation, and to aim to lower anxiety;

3. To liaise with other groups with similar aims in the UK, and abroad - whilst remaining politically independent;

How

1. Campaigning: Using our position as elders to support peaceful protest, lobby politicians and business leaders at all levels, and people in our own generation,

writing articles, comments and letters to newspapers, and engaging on social media;

2. Workingwith parents, children, schools and other youth groups;

3. Engaging with other UK groups, and encouraging local groups to take action on climate friendly measures.

We currently meet online once a month.
This is usually the first Wednesday of each month at 5pm - a Zoom link will be published here or can be accessed by contacting us at info@ourgrandchildrensclimate.org
We also have three working groups: a Talking-With-Children-Group, an Actions Group and a Pensions and Finance Group.

Our Pensions and Finance Group meets once a month, and currently focuses on submitting evidence to Parliamentary Committees and Commissions about the long-term issues (for our grandchildren) around climate change which are often overlooked in a world which is constantly demanding short-term fixes. We also have an upcoming meeting with Senior managers at Barclays Bank following a question from us at their recent AGM

Who we are: Our Executive Group, which makes day-to-day decisions, is currently made up of 12 members:

Backstage: This website is cared for by Em Farrell, Sigurd Reimers and Nils Solberg

We have five Board Members who hold the oversight responsibility for our group.. They are Alan Cooklin, Ellie Kavner, Nic Harries, Stephen Joseph, and Sigurd Reimers
