Growing up green: children, nature and place

Children who spend time in nature are happier, healthier, and more resilient, and we know that nature boosts wellbeing, learning, and community. Yet 1 in 3 urban children rarely visits green spaces, with those from lower-income and minoritized backgrounds most affected.

In March 2026, this webinar explored the questions of how do we make nature accessible for every child? And how do we empower them to take action for the environment?
