Today's podcast is a special celebration of London Climate Action Week 2020 (https://www.londonclimateactionweek.org/). The week had over 200 events, with over 30,000 people taking part across a huge range of sectors. Due to pandemic, the majority of the events took place virtually - but they weren't any less inspiring!

This episode aims to give you a flavour of the week with a focus on schools and the young people involved, so Martin has selected a montage of clips from his favourite things from the week.

The first clip is the Choose Life! video inspired by the film Trainspotting, and, followed by the LCAW launch film. Following that is an introduction to the Let's Go Zero campaign (https://letsgozero.org/) with Alex Green from Ashden (https://ashden.org/) featuring a short clip of an interview with Martin. Then there's a poem from poet Rakaya Fetuga at the Ashden Awards, followed by an interview led by Studio 2909 (https://www.studio2909.org/) with sixth form students from Sydney Russell School in Dagenham. After that is a few words from Zamzam Ibrahim - president of the NUS, then clips from the Semble (https://semble.org/) webinar Supporting Youth Climate Action in our Communities, featuring Amanda Horton-Mastin, Carley Sefton, Mya-Rose Craig, and the incredible Eco Emeralds.
