Project
Project Earth empowers and showcases young innovators keen to tackle climate challenges with expert support and real-world impact.
Primary
If you have an eco group or students passionate about protecting the planet, Project Earth offers an exciting opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world impact.
Whether your students are working on a school project, a STEM club idea, or a scheme from another organisation, they can submit their ideas to Project Earth and receive support to bring them to life. With access to over 90 expert advisors - from climate scientists to engineers and technologists - students are guided in developing innovative solutions to climate and biodiversity challenges.
Students are also invited to take part in Pitch for the Planet, a national showcase event held at the Royal Institution in London on 26 June 2026, where they can present their ideas to a panel of experts and industry leaders.
Previous student ideas have included:
All support is completely free, and the event is free to attend (schools only need to cover travel costs).
Giving students agency and a voice in climate action is transformative. It boosts confidence, nurtures creativity, and helps mitigate climate anxiety. It also opens young people’s eyes to future careers in sustainability, engineering, and technology.
The experience helps young people:
"Project Earth is a climate accelerator that empowers young people to act for their future."
— Professor Michael Mann, climatologist and geophysicist
