With creators such as @gardentopot championing sustainable living, TikTok brings together communities in Sub-Saharan Africa and around the world, empowering them to raise sustainability awareness and inspire action.

This Earth Month, we join hands with our global community as we discover, share and learn on TikTok how we can continue to "Invest In Our Planet" and make a difference.


Harnessing creativity for sustainability awareness and advocacy

On TikTok, our community is passionate about making a difference and having a positive impact on our world. Harnessing the power of creativity, they share content and initiatives promoting environmentalism and climate activism, along with the many ways everyone can get involved.

Some popular environmental themes that have inspired the TikTok community over the past year include:

  • Nature conservation: Popular hashtags such as #climateaction have garnered over 1 billion views in the past year, showing our community loves creating content that celebrates, protects and restores nature through innovative solutions. @char_explores a popular travel and lifestyle creator who highlighted how her travels have opened her eye to climate change.
  • Sustainable living and responsible consumption: From creators like @khardi_wk creative skills to turn plastic bags into clothing, to @mamas.plate who gives tips on reducing food waste, our community is looking to incorporate sustainability in all facets of their lives.


Advancing our commitment to climate literacy

Trust and authenticity fuel the creativity of TikTok—and we believe we have an important role to play in empowering informed climate discussions on our platform. This week, we are introducing several initiatives that will help reduce harmful climate change misinformation while elevating authoritative information year-round.

On April 21, we will begin to ramp up enforcement of a new climate change misinformation policy which removes climate change misinformation that undermines well-established scientific consensus, such as content denying the existence of climate change or the factors that contribute to it. As we do for all misinformation policies, we will work with independent fact-checking partners when applying this policy to help assess the accuracy of content. To further build our community's resilience to misinformation, we are also introducing a new search feature that directs people who seek out climate change-related content towards authoritative information.


Take action with creators and organizations

Check out the Earth Month 2023 content hub to find out more about incredible creators and organizations dedicated to raising sustainability awareness and bringing in innovative actions. We worked with the UN when sourcing this authoritative information.

Throughout the month, we invite and encourage our community to take small actions from daily life and be part of the change using hashtags #zerowaste, #ecofriendly, and #earthday.

Join us as our global community continues to raise sustainability awareness with all the ways we can all help make this planet an even better place.
