Jodie Bailey-Ho is a 19-year-old undergraduate environmental science student at the University of Manchester, one of the co-founders of Teach the Teacher and one of the Department for Education Youth Focal Points for sustainability and climate change. Her lobbying for climate and sustainability education began in 2019, and since then she has been involved with a number of SOS-UK projects (including Teach the Future and Mock COP). Her commitment to sustainability and education has earned Jodie recognition on a global scale - being named one of the finalists for Young Champion at the Global Good Awards, being awarded the Jack Petchey Environmental Award, and named one of CIWEMs ‘Climate Sheroes’ earlier this year. Through the DfE climate strategy, she hopes that every young person, regardless of who they are, will feel equipped and empowered to create meaningful change, and that young people involved in Teach the Teacher will be inspired to go into the world believing they can change it for the better.
