The ‘Zoom Beyond Travel Pass’ is something that we at the South Yorkshire Youth Combined Authority introduced just after covid. It has significantly helped young people across the region to use public transport, making us one of the cheapest in the country for ages up to 21.

[Yorkshire & Humber Climate Commission @YHClimateCom]

We’re proud to have @official_ryca on the Commission. Youth voice and empowerment is a crucial pillar for RYCA, and giving young people in #Yorkshire & #Humber a seat at the table to affect regional change is important to us.

Thank you to Will and Edie for talking to us today!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY!!!
This years theme is Green Skills 🌍

This means putting education and jobs at the heart of sustainable development and young people at the heart of those policies.

@N8Decarbo was one of the first groups that reached out to us - their desire to include young people within climate action is admirable.

We have loved working with you all and hope to collaborate again.

Thank you and happy international Youth Day! 🌍🙌

In March I spoke at the Student Sustainability Research Conference hosted by the University of Leeds.

It was fantastic to celebrate the great research by undergrad and postgraduate students from all across Yorkshire.

It was great to be on the Economy & Finance Panel at the Yorkshire Sustainability Conference yesterday with Kate Smith, Vera Trappmann, Natasha Babar-Evans, Georgina Knockton and James Murray MP.

Fantastic discussion around the social and technical aspects to a green economy.

Here's what they had to say!

[Yorkshire & Humber Climate Commission @YHClimateCom]

“Businesses need to decarbonise and to democratise.

“If businesses had cooperative ownership, perhaps they’d be more focused on sustainability.”

- @Curtis_Yip from @official_ryca speaking at #YSW23

[Yorkshire & Humber Climate Commission @YHClimateCom]

“We helped bring in an 80p discount fare for buses in South Yorkshire and young people were quick to jump onto public transport. It’s improving people’s lives as well as reducing emissions.”

- @JudeDanielSmith, a climate education academic and member of @official_ryca at #YSW23

[Doncaster Youth Council @DonYouthCouncil]
