UK climate startup AimHi Earth raises £1M to provide climate and sustainability training to businesses
Climate change has become a hot-button issue that’s never going away. But with the increase in weather-related events like pollution, wildfires, drought, and insect outbreaks, the effect of climate change can no longer be denied. That’s why London-based climate tech startup AimHi Earth has stepped in to raise the level of climate change awareness among corporate employees.
Today, AimHi Earth announced it has closed £1 million in funding to provide curated training for upskilling workers by ensuring employees of large companies are empowered to take action. The round was backed by tech and finance entrepreneurs including Nicco Perra, Sam Wisnia, and The Climate Planet Foundation.
With this funding, AimHi Earth can continue its mission to create 100 million nature-first employees and provide essential training to workers across all sectors to combat the climate emergency.
Founded by Matthew Shribman (Chief Scientist) and Sarah Humphrys in 2020, AimHi Earth is a climate and sustainability training company that provides curated, accessible, and engaging live, online climate training and education for organizations.
“We all want a future with clean air, healthy soil, stable weather, and unpolluted water. This is why we’re all on the same team when it comes to preventing the climate and nature emergency – everyone wins when we accelerate the evolution of our economy and society to one that’s sustainable and regenerative. At AimHi Earth, we know that knowledge is the foundation of progress. That’s why we’re on a mission to train and upskill hundreds of millions of professionals, to champion and enable circularity, sustainability, and operating within planetary boundaries,” Shribman said.
Backed by renowned institutions like Cambridge Zero at the University of Cambridge, the UN Environment Programme, the Eden Project, and Nature4Climate, AimHi Earth equips people and organizations with the essential understanding, skills, and ideas to overcome the climate and nature crisis and ensure a healthier, fairer, more prosperous future.
“We’re on a mission to ensure everyone understands the full picture of the climate and nature crisis, and is motivated to be a part of the solution, in order to accelerate nature-centric decision-making.”
Since its inception four years ago, AimHi Earth has worked with multinational corporations including PepsiCo, Unilever, and Molson Coors, and is supported by renowned institutions like Cambridge Zero at the University of Cambridge, the UN Environment Programme, the Eden Project, and Nature4Climate.
