Earth Day 2026 Pledge - Raven Trust
April 22, 2026 is Earth Day, and this year the theme is “Our Power, Our Planet.” With this theme, the Earth Day organization is saying “Progress does not happen in silence. It happens when people show up. Environmental progress is built through everyday action—from communities protecting ecosystems to innovators advancing solutions. Clean air, safe water, and climate resilience aren’t optional—they’re essential. For Earth Day 2026, we’re mobilizing at scale. Every action counts. Every voice matters.” RAVEN agrees with this sentiment. Securing a climate-safe future will take bold action and courageous solidarity. With RAVEN’s We Are All One Planet campaign we are supporting two Chiefs from Wet’suwet’en House groups of the Likhts’amisyu Clan who are leading the way in climate action. In their groundbreaking legal challenge, Misdzi Yikh v Canada, the two House groups are taking Canada to court for failing to lower emissions in line with commitments under the Paris...
