Manchester City Council

Zero carbon and climate change Ward Climate Change Action Plans

Children and young people (including schools)

We are committed to ensuring young people are empowered and supported to take climate change action at every level.

In Manchester, 56.5% of residents are 34 years old and under, which makes us officially a 'young city', so we're working towards recognition as a UNICEF Child Friendly City.

Young people of Manchester have come together produce a manifesto for climate action (link). ​

Aims:

  • We will work with partner organisations and local stakeholders to support young people to take leading roles in climate change projects ​
  • We will work alongside and support schools, youth centres, youth councils and youth groups to ensure young people can take action in their local communities​
