Energy and Environment Institute Our story Our work Our people Contact us More Back On-going projects Youth Environmental Ambassadors and the impact of Covid-19 We need YOUR help with our survey about climate change and the environment during COVID-19 Are you aged between 10 and 30 years and involved in any activity focused upon the environment and/or climate change? This could be as an individual and/or as part of a group. If so, we would really like to hear from you. We are interested in hearing from young people across the world about their experiences of being involved in addressing climate change and environmental issues. We'd like to understand the type of work you have been involved with, your motivations and your views. We are also interested in the impact that COVID-19 may have had on your work. The survey should only take around 15-20 minutes to complete and your views and story will be greatly valued by the project team. To complete the survey, please click HERE.
