“Project Earth is helping to empower young people of school age to understand and positively act to help tackle the climate crisis. As a climate accelerator it engages and gives agency to young people, creating a movement of young people inspired for a better future.“

“Innovation will be fundamental in the creation of a resilient, sustainable, zero-carbon future. Today’s students are not only coming up with creative ideas but also, importantly, working on their practical implementation.“

Professor Joanna Haigh

Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Physics at Imperial and past co director of the Grantham Institute – Climate Change and Environment  

“Climate change is the single most important global challenge the world is facing – and involving pupils in developing innovative solutions is the single most important thing we can do since it is this generation who have to see the issue through. Our previous experience of involving GCSE students with our research on nutrition associated with vegetarian diets not only helped with their learning but empowered them to realise that they have the potential to make a real difference.

You can start research from the moment you understand the problem – and school pupils are more aware of the problem of climate change than anyone else and want to help find a solution, so we should all help them in finding the solution.“

Professor Martin Warren

Head, Food Innovation and Health, Quadram Institute Bioscience, Rosalind Franklin Road, Norwich Research Park

“Young people have such passion and energy to work for a better future – I support Project Earth’s determination to let their voices be heard.“
