Forging a Seat at the Table for Youth at COP with Holly Crockford


Listen Later

As thousands of people ascended into Glasgow to attend COP26, young people fought to have their voices heard. But beyond COP, how do we ensure youth have a seat at the climate table not just now but always?

For the month of November, #NextPagePod has gone green in support of COP26. So far we've featured conversations exploring climate issues, youth activism, the science behind the policy and of course talked about what role multilateralism plays in the future of our planet. In this final episode, we are going back to what inspired this series in the first place, COP26, as we talk to one of the young Australian delegates on the final day of the conference. 

In this episode, we talk to Holly Crockford to hear what she has learned on the ground from a youth perspective but also what she hopes to see after the conference ends. Holly is a young Australian climate leader who is the co-founder of Climate Force and Foundations for Tomorrow an organization powered by the Global Shapers Community, she is also involved with AYFICE (Australian Youth For International Climate Engagement) and has a background in pro-bono law and community volunteering. In this conversation we explore youth accessibility to the conference, what actions Holly wants to see beyond COP and the type of climate leadership she'd like to see.
