The movement to reduce humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions extends far beyond Glasgow. We are, as always, filled with hope at the ongoing mobilization of young people in our network, climate leaders from around the world, and frontline and Indigenous activists.<\/p>\n
Next week #COP26 begins, which will position the climate crisis firmly in the global consciousness. Student Energy will be there, and we will be empowered by the knowledge that if we are to achieve net zero, it will be together.<\/p>\n
