It’s the end of Day 4 at the Strath Union and 'ATP @ COP26' Hub! It has been a busy day with activities, workshops, and inspiring talks.

Remember, all students are welcome to attend events. Have a look through the programme and  simply register for free via EventBrite. There are countless opportunities to hear about projects, ways to get involved and important messages all in the name of tackling climate change.

Today we caught up with Walking Forest during their rehearsal and at their 'camp' where they shared stories of standing up for change and learning about forest ecology. Tomorrow you can join them during their performance action to mourn the loss of forests and ecosystems around the world. 

Yesterday, we went to the New York Times Climate Hub at SWG3 where former Strath Union President, Kayla-Megan Burns spoke in a debate. It was great to hear Kayla representing young people's voices in the climate discussion. You can watch her session on the NY Times YouTube channel here
