The young climate scientists who want their voice heard

Thousands of young people across the UK are joining a mission to understand and help solve the environmental crisis facing their generation.

In a mission led by the UK’s Royal Society, school children as young as five are taking on their own climate and environmental research projects.

They plan to take their findings - and their messages - to the politicians who will be representing them at the critical climate talks later this year.
