4 years later and the For Planet Climate app is ready for testing 🎉 A collaboration of @EnvAgency, Lancashire Youth council, myself & a group of young change makers. Starting from the concept of a climate action enabling app way back in 2019, now we’re here!

If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again … Overjoyed to share I’m going to be @ucl from September studying Global Humanitarian Studies! 🥳 Glad I persisted in reapplying and I can’t wait to be an honorary Londoner (but always a Mancunian at heart) 🐝

If youth representation in politics was represented over a year - we would stop being represented TODAY; #NoSayDay 📣 Under 30s are 50% of the global pollution but only 2.6% of global parliamentarians #youngpeople deserve to be represented and heard!

Young people when given the right tools & skills will change the world 💡 Makyth Venture Ignite brought together 100 students to innovate solutions to ‘reduce waste in schools’ (waste of any kind) As hoped there was lots of out of the box thinking & true innovation 💡

Twitter feels like a very unsafe place to be as a young person & activist right now. I’m going to be focusing a lot more on @JoinCurv & Instagram (@its_greenemma ) if you want to follow me along …

Filled with nothing but hope - young conservationists are & will play a huge role in saving the planet 🌎 That’s what I feel after speaking at the @chesterzoo Youth Symposium this weekend! In amongst all the climate doom is hope, and events like this is where you find it 💡

Seems rather topical to share this on Twitter at the moment … Does social media cause more harm than good? 👀 We explore that and so much more on my @TransformSDG session on ‘The Power & Pitfalls of #socialmedia’ -
