Earth Day 2026: Our Power, Our Planet

Mar 31, 2026 09:26AM ● By Sandra Yeyati

Communities worldwide will come together from Saturday, April 18, through Earth Day, the 22nd, to celebrate this year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet”—a rallying cry for people everywhere to reclaim their voice, their rights and their future. Since its inception, this event has mobilized international involvement, and this year is no different as more than 1 billion environmental champions are expected to participate.

“All those years ago, in 1970, we were ridiculously confident that we were going to win,” says Denis Hayes, organizer of the first Earth Day and board chair emeritus of the nonprofit EarthDay.org. “We launched a genuine environmental revolution. We proved that an engaged public can be an unstoppable force. It can be again in 2026.”

People working together can change the world. Illustrating this vast scope of influence, an interactive, digital map on EarthDay.org lists events across all continents. From city parks to coastal villages, volunteers will clean riverbanks, plant trees and host workshops on recycling and sustainable living. Families will involve their children by crafting bird feeders from recycled materials and painting murals of forests and wildlife. New opportunities for fun and service are continually coming online, and anyone can add their event to the map.

At Action.EarthDay.org/our-power-our-planet-pledge individuals can formally resolve to stand up for environmental protections in local communities, support the transition to clean energy and green jobs, demand that leaders prioritize human and planetary health, and take eco-friendly action throughout the year and beyond. Now is the time to be part of the solutions.

According to organizers, “Since 1970, people from every walk of life—farmers and ranchers, faith leaders and scientists, health professionals and first responders, students and families, and communities on the front lines of climate disasters—have driven action that prevented countless illnesses and saved millions of lives worldwide. Economic prosperities and environmental protections are not competing goals. They are on the same path forward. Clean energy and sustainability have already created millions of jobs, lowered costs and delivered healthier air and water.”
