This election gives candidates the opportunity to show that they support educating Welsh youth on the climate and ecological emergency and ensuring they are prepared for the future they will face.
Teach the Future Wales have been busy writing amendments to the Welsh Government's new curriculum bill to make climate education a mandatory aspect of the curriculum. Unfortunately, the amendments were not passed but the process was rewarding. Yasmin Belhadj explains what we did!
