So I’ve just spent three weeks in Durban, South Africa to attend the United Nations climate change negotiations. It was the hardest experience of my life, but also the best experience of my life. Although making change in a place with so little agency was demoralising, to attempt it with hundreds of fellow young people of incredible enthusiasm and intelligence from around the world was wonderful. I’ve made friends I’ll never lose, from the UK Youth Climate Coalition delegation with which I went to Durban and from all over the globe..

Stay tuned for a longer reflection.
