The world doesn’t just need great leaders in sustainability education. It needs great changemakers!

The planet is facing an unprecedented climate & ecological crisis. As governments, businesses & individuals take action at scale & speed, schools & education need to swiftly follow suit to prepare our young people with the skills, knowledge & agency they need to thrive in this changing world. Inspired by Eden founder Tim Smit we are on a mission to put climate education on every timetable globally
