Our impact in numbers
We’re proud that our work has inspired young people from all over the UK to become advocates and leaders for action on climate change. From 2018-2021, the key measurable impacts of our core programme were:
Engagement
Over 7,500 young people from 184 secondary schools in the UK participated in climate conferences and other initiatives. 90% of students we surveyed after conferences felt their views were listened to.

Advocacy and action
83% of young people surveyed after events said that as a result of taking part, they now want to influence friends and family. Through our programme, over 1,200 young people have developed concrete plans for action and met with experts and decision-makers.
Leadership
Over 140 young people from 20 schools have shown leadership after participating in our programme, from participating in local government climate strategy to running for public office.
Inclusion
Over 49 of the 184 schools participating in our initiatives had above average rates of pupil premium allocations.
Our impact – an external perspective
“The Climate Voices II project has extended networks and demonstrated the potential for young people to be actively engaged in climate action. The approach adopted has been highly successful, resulting in considerable momentum for change among young people.”
