🌐What is Global Action Days?
Global Action Days (GAD) is a worldwide movement that brings people together to turn good intentions into real action for people and planet. Local communities take part in fun, hands-on actions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, adding up to global impact.
🍽️ From 22 April–6 May 2026, the campaign focuses on the vital link between climate change and access to safe, nutritious and sustainable food, a core goal of sustainable development and a real-world game changer for communities everywhere.
🧑🏽🌾 From eating seasonal, local food to mapping where your meals come from, or learning how everyday choices can reduce food-related emissions, small actions can lead to meaningful change.

From kitchen to culture 💛
Mary Joe, FEE's Research & Data Assistant, and her daughter Emma explored Global Action Days 2026 Activity 3: Recipes with Roots by preparing Ela Ada, a traditional sweet from Kerala, India.
“Ela” means leaf, as the sweet is wrapped and steamed in banana leaves. Inside, a delicious filling brings together ripe plantain, jaggery, grated coconut, ghee, and a touch of cardamom, all tucked into a soft rice flour dough.
More than just a recipe, this activity is a beautiful way to connect generations, share traditions, and discover the stories behind food.
Thank you, Mary Joe and Emma, for bringing this cultural experience to life. ✨

🌐 From food waste to new life in Cyprus 🤚
At NOVA - Alternative Schools Limassol (@nova.schools ), an Eco-School in Cyprus, students turned everyday leftovers into a powerful lesson for Global Action Days 2026. Guided by their teachers and school chef, children explored how food connects people and the planet by transforming lunch scraps into compost ♻️
Through this hands-on activity, they learned about food waste, climate change, and how small actions can support healthier food systems. Their compost will now help nourish plants and bring new life to their school environment 🌸
A big shoutout to the Cyprus Marine Environment Protection Association @cymepa , FEE’s Member Organisation in Cyprus, for supporting and inspiring local action that connects classrooms to global impact.
Across Global Action Days, students, schools and communities are rethinking food systems together 💚
As of today, Cyprus has 4,664 participants taking part in Global Action Days 2026 from 22 sites! Do you want to find out how many people have registered from your country? Check out the interactive map on our webpage: https://www.fee.global/global-action-days-2026
A word from our FEE President: Nikos Petrou 💬
"This year’s Global Action Days, led by @fee_global , has brought together more than 320,000 participants worldwide from 135 countries.
Among these global contributions, participation of schools from the Gulf States, as well as one school each from Syria and Iraq, stands out as especially meaningful.
In regions affected by ongoing conflict, the decision by teachers and students to engage in environmental education and action is not something to take lightly. It reflects determination, courage, and a belief in the importance of building a sustainable future, even under the most challenging circumstances.
Their participation is more than symbolic. It underscores the critical role of education as a source of stability, empowerment, and hope. It also reminds us that global movements like Global Action Days must remain inclusive, ensuring that voices from all contexts - especially those facing adversity - are seen, heard, and supported.
Their voices matter. Their actions matter. And their participation strengthens a truly global movement for change."

A plate full of purpose 🌱
FEE's Head Office staff came together for Global Action Days @kraftwerketsfolkekokken for a 100% plant-based meal celebrating local, seasonal ingredients. The feast included a vibrant carrot purée, schnitzel with celery root, a kale salad with tangy mustard and mushroom sauce, and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Everyone who attended joined the clean plate club.
More than just a meal, this was a moment of connection, linking our everyday choices to global impact as part of Danmarks Biblioteksforening’s @SDGweek17 , highlighting SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
Inspired by FEE’s Global Action Days, Activity 1: Palette of Plenty, the team explored how colourful, nutritious food can nourish both people and planet. Every ingredient told a story of local farmers, seasonal cycles, and the power of collective action.
Sustainability is on our plates, in our partnerships, and in the choices we make every day.
What will your “palette of plenty” meal for Global Action Days include?
Earth Day is almost here, but one day isn’t enough.
What if Earth Day became a habit, not a moment?
🌐🖐️ From 22 April to 6 May, @globalactiondays is your chance to turn intention into action.
In line with the @earthdaynetwork , we’re rethinking the way we eat and reducing our impact on the planet one meal at a time.
This is your commitment:
Start where you are, act locally and stay consistent.
🥕🗺️ Across five hands-on activities, you’ll explore how food connects people and planet, from seasonal, colourful meals and legume-powered recipes to mapping your food, rediscovering cultural roots, and questioning what food labels really mean.
Because real change doesn’t happen in a day.
It happens every day.

🌐🖐️ From Mexico to Slovenia to Greece, students are exploring where their food comes from through the Global Action Days activity “Mapping My Meal”.
In Cancún, learners traced the journey of a favourite snack and reflected on how food production and transport affect both cost and carbon footprint. Across Europe, students are making similar connections, linking everyday meals to global systems and environmental impact.
These inspiring activities show how young people everywhere are turning awareness into action.
Join the movement, register for Global Action Days and start mapping your impact today.
