We are hosting this online Zoom event to connect St Albans' young people to the politicians that represent them. We hope to create a productive and honest conversation around the climate and biodiversity crisis, discussing key concerns and how politicians can listen to, and amplify, younger voices in this context.
Navigating the climate crisis is the greatest issue our generation faces - come along to ask your local politicians what they are doing to address it and how you can get involved.
