People & Planet is the largest student network in the UK campaigning for social and environmental justice. We envision a future in which spiralling inequality, instability, climate crisis and resource depletion are reversed, and a world in which the balance of power in society has fundamentally shifted to an equal world that benefits all of us.
Our mission is to build an empowered generation of change-makers who are equipped with life-long skills, motivation and networks to be a force for change in achieving a more equitable and sustainable world.
Our societies have been shaped by powerful forces, which have left a world with deep social, political and economic inequalities. Despite the worsening climate crisis and global inequality rising exponentially, big corporations continue to sacrifice people and planet for profit and power.
We believe that change can only be achieved by strong social and environmental justice movements that include empowered students and communities most impacted by injustice, working together in global solidarity to overcome these oppressive structures.
We empower students and young people to be a driving force in creating a better world by training, supporting and mentoring them to be effective change-makers and integrate principles of collective liberation in their campaigns. We work with partners to form strong international coalitions that include affected communities themselves, and together challenge the holders of power at the transnational level.
Our Opportunities
People & Planet is looking for volunteers to assist with compiling its 2025/26 People & Planet University League; the only higher education ranking that classifies based on ethics and climate justice criteria.
