The Climate Connection campaign officially launched on 3 June, with the global, inter-generational Conversation for Change panel.

COP26 President Alok Sharma MP gave a pre-recorded opening speech and shortly after the event ended, the UK government issued a press release with the speech. He thanked us for the way The Climate Connection 'brings people together from around the world to meet the challenges of climate change'.

All over the planet, young people are leading the charge against climate change
