Students from 14 secondary schools had a go at negotiating climate policy in a mock conference.

To coincide with the United Nations climate change conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, county students met at Cheltenham Borough Council’s chambers to try and set funding goals and generate joint proposals.

Chosen Hill pupil Leo attended the summit and said his school’s eco team is “concerned” about climate change.

The conference saw each student represent a mix of developing, emerging, and developed countries.

Australia, Barbados, India, the Marshall Islands, the UK, and the United States were among the countries represented.

The students had to agree resolutions on key themes and put forward policy positions using carefully chosen arguments in a conference debate that mirrors the UN negotiations and the drive for consensus.
