Why Earth Warriors?
We are the world’s first comprehensive climate education curriculum for 3-11 year olds
Menu
Our Vision is to ensure the next generation inherits a greener and healthier planet.
Our mission is to empower 2 billion children to take climate action through age-appropriate climate education.
Help schools and educators to cultivate the next generation of change makers.
Starting young allows children to build lifelong sustainable habits that come as naturally to them as brushing their teeth.
Introducing climate change at an early age makes it a normal topic to talk about rather than a source of anxiety.
Climate education from early years gives children the foundational knowledge needed to pursue green careers and take climate action.
The youngest children will be the most impacted by climate change despite having contributed the least to it. They need to be prepared to face the climate challenges ahead.
By getting appropriate knowledge, they can understand that individual actions can make a difference.
Human inertia is the biggest threat to climate action. Climate education is key to give the next generation hope and empower them to take climate action
90% of a child’s brain develops before they turn 5. Climate and sustainability education at a young age, ensures sustainable behavior comes as naturally to them, as brushing their teeth.
77% of children feel anxious about climate change. With a positive and solution-focused approach on climate education; students can feel empowered and not anxious.
Educating just 16% of children in the developed world could have the same impact as removing 504 million cars off the road, which is approximately 1/3rd of all the cars in the world.
Earth Warriors is the brainchild of two friends with a belief that all children have the the right to quality and inclusive climate education.
The Co- Founders, Shweta Bahri and Keya Lamba have over a decade of expertise in teaching, education policy, and sustainable learning.
Shweta and Keya identified a gap in the climate education space for 3-11 year olds, a key age to build lifelong sustainable habits, which led to the creation of Earth Warriors.
They developed the curriculum with the aim to empower children and combat eco-anxiety. The curriculum was finalised after extensive testing across 5 countries.
Earth Warrior is on a mission to give 2 billion children globally, access to high quality, comprehensive climate education. Within the next 2 years, we intend to reach 1000 schools across the UK, India and Africa.

“The high quality of the curriculum is one of the features of Earth Warriors that sets us apart from the rest. When the gaps in teachers’ knowledge and confidence are as big as they are, and the time is not on our side with childrens’ rising anxiety and the decline of the planet’s health, societies must invest in the highest quality and readily implementable climate education product available to them.”

Earth Warriors with National Geographic
Earth Warriors is delighted to share our short animation made in partnership with The National Geographic Society. We co-created this resource for teachers during lockdown to shine a light on the importance of teaching quality climate education in an age-appropriate way, critical for 3-7-year-olds to keep their eco-anxiety in check.
This platform reminds us that everyone can do something, whatever our means, time, or expertise, we can all get involved and make a contribution to Green Citizens somewhere in the world or close to home.
In 2022 we released our Global Learning Standards on Climate Change for 3-7 year olds – developed byus in collaboration with Professors Dana Charles McCoy and Michael Mastrandrea from Harvard and Stanford University respectively.
