From sustainable households going low-waste and thrift store walk-throughs, to original songs about global warming and information about creators' favorite climate activists, the global TikTok community cares about climate change. Over the past year alone, climate-related conversations on TikTok have garnered over 20 billion views globally.

The TikTok community includes a generation that is increasingly interested in environmental preservation. And as a truly global platform, TikTok is committed to giving a voice to this generation most impacted by climate change and producing inspiring, accessible and engaging content.

Driving climate awareness through creativity

TikTok has emerged as a top destination for conversations focused on the most urgent environment and sustainability issues, with an active and engaged community of creators committed to raising awareness, inspiring action, and restoring the planet. Much like the creators behind them, the tens of thousands of climate-related videos on TikTok are diverse, wide-ranging, and stunningly creative.

Some of the most popular climate topics on TikTok that our communities care about most include:

  • Climate Awareness & Education: Hashtags #NatureLover and #EarthDay saw over 2 billion video views in the last year, with creators like @shangerdanger inspiring us with underwater wonders worth preserving and @earthtopia sharing environmental wins of the week.
  • Waste Clean-Up: Creators like @mrgood.plastic and @danieltoben and organizations like @4Ocean are giving viewers a front row seat to some of the most ambitious clean-up projects on the planet as they tackle everything from the ocean plastic crisis to streams overloaded with litter.

  • Making an impact through #ClimateAction

    At TikTok, we are committed to continue learning about climate issues and sustainability, inspired by our global community. To further conversations around climate awareness coinciding with the COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference, we are launching our #ClimateAction campaign from October 25, to encourage communities all over the world to join the climate conversation and take action that has a positive impact on our planet.

    COP26 brings together world leaders, civil society, companies and people on the frontline of climate change all gather to commit and inspire urgent climate action. As one of the most crucial climate events in the world, we are partnering with TikTok creators from around the world to take their inspiring climate content to the next level and ensure these important conversations are front and center.
