The UKSCN website outlines their demands, which include saving the planet, reforming the education system to teach young people about the climate crisis, and wanting everyone living in the UK under the age of 16 to be able to vote.

In 2019 over 850 demonstrations by the group took place – including the September Global Climate Strike.

We have reached out to the group in Cardiff for comment.
