Concern about climate change has rocketed up the political agenda in recent years and, for voters
under 24, it is second only to Brexit in terms of the issues that they value most. In that context, further political action towards climate protection seems inevitable as politicians court the next generation to bolster their electoral support. The event, held on 11 September at Titanic Belfast, and this associated report are therefore timely and we wholeheartedly support the efforts made to explore and shape new ideas around the decarbonisation of energy.
