NAAEE has once again opened the global search for 30 game-changing leaders under 30 years of age who are using environmental education to build a sustainable future for all!

Leadership comes in all shapes and sizes, and recognizing this diversity is more important than ever as we work to build a better future. Through EE 30 Under 30, we strive to build the next generation of leaders that are using environmental education to meet the sustainability needs of their own communities. This could mean bringing the SDGs into classrooms, addressing human-wildlife conflict, empowering youth to take action on water quality.

How are you harnessing the power of education to shape a sustainable and equitable world? If you are under 30 and championing environmental education in your work, or you know someone who is, we want to know! Nominate yourself or a fellow leader by May 8.
