Jodie Bailey-Ho is a 21-year-old climate campaigner and undergraduate environmental science student at the University of Manchester, specialising in climate and atmospheric science. She was also one of the inaugural Department for Education Youth Focal Points for Sustainability and Climate Change, where she worked with Ministers and the Civil Service to embed sustainability into the education system, and is the founder of Teach the Teacher, a global campaign empowering young people to lead workshops on climate change and social justice to their educators.

Her journey in the climate movement began in 2019, and since then she has lobbied for integrated climate education both in the UK and worldwide with youth-led organisations Teach the Future and Mock COP, attending COP26 and COP29 to talk to environment and education ministers about committing to climate education in their countries. Through this work, she hopes that every young person, regardless of identity and background, will feel equipped and empowered to become effective changemakers on all scales.
