<p>All over the world, young people are leading the charge against climate change,
whether through advocating climate action, or developing climate solutions. This is
why we are committed to amplifying young people's voices on the road to and at COP26
in Glasgow, this November.</p><p>The Cabinet Office’s dedicated youth and civil society
team host regular online open calls for civil society and youth organisations to hear
the latest planning developments for the conference. We would welcome the participation
of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Youth Action Against Climate Change at these
meetings. The contact to join is rebecca.thurston@cabinetoffice.gov.uk. We have also
established the COP26 Civil Society and Youth advisory council, where young activists,
NGOs, indigenous peoples and faith groups are very much part of our conversations
in planning COP26. Which I chair alongside Elizabeth Wathuti, a 25-year-old climate
activist from Kenya, and Bella Lack, an 18-year-old climate activist from the UK.</p><p>In
addition, this month we are proud to have launched the Together for Our Planet Schools
Pack, designed to engage students on climate action, encourage conversations about
tackling climate change, and help students learn more about the COP26 summit in Glasgow
this year.</p>
