Young People Debate Climate Change with Politicians
HeadsUp is the Hansard Society's innovative web forum, where under-18s debate political issues with legislators and policy-makers. The first forum for the 2009/10 series is 'Climate Change - how should the world summit tackle the problem' ahead of the UN summit in Copenhagen. The views of young people debating on HeadsUp will feed into the government's strategy at the summit.
