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
