onboard:earth started life in 2015 as ‘Energy Revolution,’ a festival industry response to the COP21 climate change talks and research showing that travel typically causes 80% of a festival’s carbon emissions.*
We have supported our network to reach over £864,000 donated to our trusted environmental restoration projects and in 2026 we aim to to make this £1 million raised for nature.
Our evolution to onboard:earth in 2024 better represents our mission to move low-carbon travel into the heart of live events culture and our vision to unite events in environmental restoration; with an emphasis on supporting projects that address ecosystem protection and regeneration in a holistic way.
