Eden at COP26: Act now

The Eden Project builds relationships between people and planet to demonstrate the power of working together for the benefit of all living things.

We believe that radical change is possible and that fortune favours the brave.

We create hope, inspire agency – and don’t take no for an answer.

We created the 8th wonder of the world, a laboratory of ideas and a global symbol of regeneration.

They said that we couldn’t become energy independent.

We tapped into the hot rocks beneath our feet, mining heat instead of oil, and producing climate positive power for Eden and beyond.

‘They’ are no longer.

It’s now up to us.

If you believe that the future remains ours to make, join Eden’s movement towards a better future for the planet.

Sir Tim Smit, Co-founder, Eden Project

“ We believe that now is the time for the moral compass in business to be set to rights. That those who poison our waters, our air or our land are criminally treasonous to the future. Those who would join in healing it are... friends! Give us your poison and let us heal the land. ”
