The Young People’s Trust for the Environment PDF Print E-mail

ypte_logoThe Young People’s Trust for the Environment (YPTE) is a charity that aims to encourage young people’s understanding of the environment and the need for sustainability.

Young people are our future - they are the next generation of workers, parents and decision makers. It is vital that they have an understanding of today’s environmental problems before they become tomorrow’s adults. Armed with this knowledge and unfettered by adult cynicism, their thinking now could provide future answers to today’s challenges.

Environmental issues are hugely important to young people, who are ten times more likely to be concerned about climate change than they are about knife crime. Yet at the same time, they are becoming increasingly disconnected from the natural world and spend less time exploring the environment.

YPTE helps young people to gain a better understanding of the natural world and in so doing hopes to inspire young people to create real environmental change for their futures, and through more sustainable lifestyles to leave a lasting legacy for their children’s children.
