Young people have driven the climate movement, building incredible momentum and initiating necessary change. When world leaders gathered in the UK for two of the most substantial talks on the climate crisis - the G7 Summit and COP26 – young activists gathered for a Youth Climate Summit. At the summit, young people produced a manifesto for the ocean and climate and their futures. The Youth Ocean and Climate Manifesto combines the passion and ideas of 100 11-18 year olds from across the country, and will be used to hold those in power to account.
