Our Climate, Our Future
From 1st - 12th November 2021 the UK Government hosted the UN Climate Change Conference – also known as COP26 – in Glasgow. It was an historic moment that has helped define the course of political action to address climate change in the UK and around the globe. It was a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us all to witness, understand and engage with the usually remote global political systems that will set the course of our children's future.

Forest of Promises
#PromiseToThePlanet
#PromiseToThePlanet was a campaign providing a voice for young people around the world.
1,000's of children wrote a promise on one side of a leaf, and a promise they want world leaders to make on the other side. #promisetotheplanet.
Letting young people have a voice.
The Forest of Promises was shared at COP26, and leaders will be held accountable to listening to young people's voices and keeping the promises they make.

The Forest of Promises was about helping grow a sustainable future and starting a conversation ...
Young people via a virtual 'forest of promises' sent a message to Boris Johnson and other world leaders showing just how much energy and resolve there is in local communities across the UK to play an active role in fighting climate change.

A forest is strong because every part of it works together – from the smallest minibeast to the largest tree, and from the highest leaves in the canopy to the microbes deep in the soil.
