Mock Cop
“When the COP26 conference was meant to run in 2020, youth delegates from over 140 countries gathered at our own Mock Conference to show the ambition and dreams of young people fighting for a fair, equal, and green world. We are now mobilising a global movement of young people, with empowerment and representation at its core, to campaign for their leaders to implement policies dedicated to meaningful climate action.”

Pupils Profit
Pupils Profit teaches pupils how to set up and operate sustainable Healthy Tuck Shops and new Eco refill businesses, which all contribute to a school's overall well being. Founder Lizzie Gimblett works with schools across the UK, supplying Enterprise Training Toolkits and ethical products to sell in child-led schoolyard enterprises. The fully circular ECO Refill Shops are participating in a London Pilot funded by the GLA. The Pilot is showing early evidence of the refill shop’s potential to reduce plastic waste by increasing reuse in the wider school community, whilst building children’s workplace and life skills, and providing them with a practical action to support the environment.
