Young people are often the ones who care about the climate crisis the most, however they are least responsible for the climate crisis and hold disproportionately low power in affecting change. 70% of young people feel anxiety about climate change and barriers to taking action include not feeling like your actions make a significant difference, not knowing how to take action and burnout and overwhelm. Climate change and active citizenship is rarely covered by school currcicula.

Power of 10 is creating a community of empowered young environmental leaders. Facilitated by an app and events, this is a one-stop hub for young changemakers to access support and resources. It connects the passionate young people around the UK into a central community, which will help scale the impact of the environment movement. The app is host to the biggest toolkit ever on making successful environmental projects, as well as an eco-anxiety toolkit, and also hosts partner charities.
