About us

We are a Copenhagen based organisation working with sustainability education
and engaging community around it.

Our focus is on designing and implementing projects that turn ideas into real action,
from international collaborations and EU-funded programmes to local workshops and community initiatives.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build a just and inclusive society with zero carbon emissions while bringing our small contribution to reaching EU’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.

By implementing sustainability as a key requirement from the design phase of every project, we can never trade or forget it during the project lifecycle.

For this reason, we are building sustainability into the vision at the very start of the project and our team is using KPIs that will not allow us to fall into the greenwashing trap.

We are passionate about sustainability and our inner driver is the social and environmental impact at the individual and organisational level. Hence, we are empowering people and organisations to build a more inclusive society and a greener economy.

Meet people of 2050

Educating your staff on how to reduce the environmental impact of your company will boost your bottom line by making your business more sustainable.

Reduced business costs, more innovative strategies, an improved reputation, and more new customers who value sustainability all work to increase the amount of money sustainable businesses earn.

If you are less dependent on natural resources than your competitors and have ways to deal with rising costs due to climate change, your business will have a greater chance of long-term success.

For individuals

Better-educated people can take better care of their environment and are more likely to live longer and have better lifestyles than those who are not educated. The teachings on environmental education enables the children and youth to make an analysis and evaluation of the circumstances affecting the environment. This in turn prompts them to make informed  decisions based on their assessment of the situation in relation to the environment. The process results in individuals developing critical thinking skills and respect that is beneficial to them in life.

For organizations

The overall objective of  many organisations is to lead by example and to dedicate their time, energy and resources to make this world a better place. In this regard organisations keep an eye on how the governments protect both its citizens as well as their property. This similarly includes protecting the environment in which the people live in. The environmental education programs in organisations go a long way in supporting their efforts to improve legitimacy, increase their social and environmental impact and increase their membership base.

How did it all start

October 2018

It started with a simple but urgent question:
How can we turn knowledge into real action against climate change?

As students in the MSc in Climate Change at the University of Copenhagen, we were surrounded by ideas, research, and discussions but we wanted to go further.

We believed that real change requires more than conversation.
It requires action.

And that’s how People of 2050 began.
