Last month, a collection of enthused young people across Wiltshire gathered online to deliver their messages about climate change to the leaders of our county. It has already been two years since Wiltshire Council acknowledged a climate emergency, yet our Youth Group is alarmed at the leisurely manner, in which it is being addressed. We therefore took the initiative and decided to invite all elected Wiltshire MPs and councillors to a bespoke online conference. Whereby we gave young people the platform and opportunity to make statements and have their voices heard. I am the Wiltshire Climate Alliance’s Youth Group’s coordinator. I founded the group last August when I noticed a significant lack of younger members within the alliance.
