Race Against Climate Change

Leading environmental figures and business leaders have united to explore the challenges facing our planet and to unpack some of the solutions for a cleaner, greener future.

Held in partnership with National Geographic Kids, COP26 and children’s illustrator Rob Biddulph, Global Art Competition challenged children to draw the OMP racing suit and then create their own climate-inspired designs Elodie Barclay (age 9) won with her thought-provoking design featuring a thermometer, a polar bear on a melting iceberg, and more, to show the damaging effects caused by global warming. 

Envision Virgin Racing has teamed up with teenage eco-activists Amy and Ella Meek – otherwise known as the Kids Against Plastic – for a new multi-part sustainability series. Episode 6 covers the social impacts of the climate crisis, Formula E fanboost and attack mode, and food consumption.

The Solar Mamas, a network for sustainable development in impoverished communities, attended the ABB Formula E Mexico City E-Prix. The first Women Barefoot Solar Engineers Training Centre was created in Tilonia, India, to teach women how to create basic solar energy systems that would give them light, and more importantly independence, in their own home.

Adventurer, filmmaker and Race Against Climate Change ambassador, James Levelle shares his story following a truly epic 7,000 mile trip from the UK to Santiago, Chile. The unique journey was made without emitting any carbon dioxide - meaning cycling, paddling, sailing and electric vehicles – to raise awareness about the global climate crisis.
