What's next for London's youth-led green transition? Full report seminar

Peer researchers and partners launch our report on how young Londoners shape the city's green transition — and how to strengthen it.

Young Londoners will live longest with the consequences of today's decisions on heat, air, housing, transport and jobs. Almost everyone we spoke to this year agreed that their voice matters. Far fewer could point to a moment where it had changed a decision.

Join us online for the launch of What next for London's youth-led green transition?, the full report from a year of peer research across the capital, led by four peer researchers aged 20 to 25 with LSE Cities, Partnership for Young London and Islington Council.

Over the past year the team has interviewed council officers and councillors across 18 boroughs, along with the GLA, Transport for London, civil society organisations and young people involved in climate work, and catalogued more than 60 youth-climate initiatives. In September they brought practitioners, policymakers and young people together at City Hall to test what they had found. This session sets out where that leaves us.

In an hour you will hear:

• what the research found about how young people shape climate and green-transition decisions in London, and where they are shut out
• what the room at City Hall confirmed, challenged and added
• the recommendations for councils, the GLA, funders and the youth sector, and what it would take to act on them
• from the peer researchers themselves on doing this work

It is for council climate, youth and participation teams, councillors, the GLA and TfL, youth and community organisations, funders, researchers, and young people working on climate and the green transition.

Free to attend. Online, 1pm to 2pm, Thursday 26 November. The joining link will be sent before the event, and everyone who registers will receive a copy of the report and the recording afterwards.
