The Time is Now Foundation is the ultimate catalyst to realize the necessary implementation of sustainability education in secondary schools, with the purpose of changing the way the next generations look at nature. This way we are working towards a paradigm shift within society, which is needed to help reverse the climate crisis and secure a healthy planet.

Education is the key
By realizing the urgency of climate change and environmental pollution it becomes clear; a sustainable future is the only future we have.

Education is essential to secure a sustainable society, in which new generations have an opportunity to become responsible co-creators for the future of our planet.
