The Earth
Foundation
Background

The passion and concern that young people have about environmental sustainability became very evident during the series of school strikes which spread across the world in 2019, inspired by the actions of environmental activist Greta Thunberg.

Awakening

For The Earth Foundation founder, seeing thousands of students outside his office window taking to the streets of Geneva, Switzerland, to protest the lack of progress towards environmental sustainability was an awakening.

Vision and Mission

The Earth Foundation was founded as a Swiss nonprofit with the goal of taking this passion, enthusiasm and concern for the environment seen in the youth of today and help galvanize it.

Empowering the youth

The Earth Foundation will take this enthused youth and inspire, educate, mentor, and empower it to effect real change and hopefully, in turn, embolden the following generation.
