POP24 hosted a world full of sessions

Last November a world full of experts and leading researchers - passionate people working to protect our planet from here on Earth and from space - popped into your classroom.

An audience of over 140,000 joined POP24 last November for a programme of live link-ups with inspirational experts working to tackle climate change and the restoration of nature, interactive primary school sessions, and career journeys from studying STEM to protecting our planet.

We added even more enlightening sessions. Across the day, we featured how space agencies, satellites, scientists and solutions help mitigate climate change and work to protect our planet. Plus, Chris Packham introduced a new session on biodiversity, where we met some of the UK's pioneering conservation programmes protecting biodiversity for us all.

Check out each session below to see the world full of experts and leading researchers in last year’s programme.

Register your interest for POP25 in advance and be the first to hear who will be part of POP25 on Thursday 27th November!
