[Aidan @A1dan_C]

An incredibly interesting past few weeks, welcoming the world to my country for #COP26Glasgow. I am glad to have had a chance to play my own small part in #COP26- Notable meeting with @SecDebHaaland and creating materials for @McLarenHigh Instagram for peers to understand COP26.

[EUROPARC Federation @EUROPARC]

🌍#ClimateChange and #Biodiversity loss are two sides of the same coin - and young people are paying the price!

Luckily we have motivated youngsters all over Europe's #ProtectedAreas, participating the in EUROPARC Junior Ranger en Youth+ programmes. 💪

Thinking about the role #YoungPeople and #ProtectedAreas can play in the legacy of #COP26

"Protected Areas and young people should seek to co-design solutions and projects."

Check out @EUROPARC interview with me earlier this year:

[Loch Lomond & The Trossachs @lomondtrossachs]

The wonderful @A1dan_C from the @lomondtrossachs #YouthCommittee welcomed US Secretary of the @Interior @SecDebHaaland to the (rather windy) banks of #LochLomond to share views on the role of young people in climate action and nature restoration in #NationalParks

[Aidan @A1dan_C]

An absolute honour and privilege to meet @SecDebHaaland and her lovely team @Interior . Having the chance to discuss the role of #YoungPeople in @lomondtrossachs- during #COP26 discussions was amazing. Althought windy, the day was fantastic and will be a cherished memory.

[Transition Stirling @transitionstir]

@mclarenleisure @recykeabike @MunroElectrical @CallanderFringe Thank you so much for having us, it was a pleasure to be involved!

[Aidan @A1dan_C]

We had our first meeting at the end of June, 87 days before our first event!

All we had was the will to put on a week to engage, connect and inspire.

In total we held around 28 events, across the week. Ranging from dirt and muck to Electric Vehicles and sewing.

[Aidan @A1dan_C]

I was amazed by how many times the team wanted to ensure #youngpeople were fully involved in our events.

Our feature event, the Climate Q&A, was centred around young people from @McLarenHigh asking questions to local officials and national organisations on our environment.

It was one of the first community events I've been involved in organising and have enjoyed every minute of working on events for Callander.
