Unlock Next Gen is a brand-new hub for young people to get involved with, make their voices heard, and take action against climate change. The community, led by a team of young eco-enthusiasts across Places for People, is set to act as a platform for young people across the UK to share their views on the environment and sustainability issues, discuss solutions, take action and encourage decision makers to make big changes to protect our planet.

Key areas of focus include biodiversity, renewable energy, reducing waste, cutting down water use and sustainable transport, and guest speakers will be joining the team for their monthly discussions on these topics.

Listen to the first episode where the initiative is introduced and members discuss the agenda around Net Zero.
