<p>On 10 June, we published the Together for our Planet Schools Pack which was sent
to schools across the UK. The pack is designed to encourage conversations about climate
change, engage students on COP26, and help schools celebrate students who are going
“One Step Greener” by recycling, walking to school, or taking other steps to tackle
climate change. In April, we partnered with Blue Peter to launch a writing competition
which asked children to submit a story about something that is affecting our planet
today. We will transform the winning work into an animated film which will premiere
at COP26 to inspire urgent climate action.</p><p>The COP Unit has a dedicated youth
engagement team who are working to ensure youth voices are heard at COP26 and in its
legacy. I have set up a Civil Society and Youth Advisory Council so that young activists
are informing our planning for an inclusive COP26. The UK is also working in partnership
with the Italian government Government, who will host the Pre-COP and Youth4Climate
event, bringing together 400 young climate leaders from across the world.</p><p> </p>
