INTRODUCING SOS UK

We're transforming education so people protect the climate and nature.



Our education system helped cause the climate and nature crisis, but now we're making it the solution. We are fighting to make sure everyone develops a commitment to protecting the earth and puts it to work - whether it's at school, university or in their careers.



By empowering students and educators to build a better world, we can transform the lives of generations to come. In just a few years we have developed unstoppable student leaders. Behind these leaders every step of the way is the SOS UK community making sure students don't have to fight for change alone. We unite people from every background, inside and outside education, because protecting our earth matters to each and every one of us. Armed with proven solutions, we push for change at every level of society. We are always laser focused on what can be done, whether it's at local councils, in community halls, or in Westminster.
