A youth-led movement empowering young people and their communities to take real action for the planet

Our Planet Needs You Senior Youth Leads

With nine impactful initiatives that support the UK’s journey to net zero

Youth Leads deliver the programme to younger participants, developing their own skills through teaching while building a self-sustaining model that embeds sustainability into everyday life.

Every person plays their part.

Every action counts.

It all starts with a story…

A children's book titled 'Our Planet Needs You' features cartoon illustrations of the sun, Earth, and the moon with expressive faces.

Learn about our planet’s struggle with pollution and climate change, and what we can do to make a difference.

Lead the change,

Be the change.

Our Planet Needs You (OPNY) is a gamified climate action challenge that encourages young people to cut waste, reduce emissions, and support the UK’s net zero goals.

Thanks to funding from H&F’s Climate Action Team, the programme is live in Hammersmith and Fulham, London – engaging over 4000 people via partnerships with eight primary schools, two secondary schools and local youth organisations.

Be part of the solution!

Our Planet Needs You…

and you, and you, and you.

From reducing rubbish to increasing greenery, lifting our voices, and voting with our choices, there’s something everyone can do.

Our 9 initiatives are about youth and community-led climate action; aimed at making a real difference.
