The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Children’s Parliament and the Scottish Youth Parliament on the success of The Moment initiative, which led to children and young people taking part in nationwide climate meetings with their elected representatives; understands that the preparatory work carried out by children, young people and schools resulted in over 60 virtual and in-person events, believed to be the largest ever direct engagement of children and young people in Scotland meeting their elected representatives; welcomes the children and young people’s calls to action on climate change, and notes these were plotted on The Map, which was presented to international parliamentarians at the Globe COP26 Legislators’ Summit, held in the Scottish Parliament on 5 November 2021; congratulates everyone involved in The Moment on making the voices of children and young people heard during COP26, and agrees that all elected representatives should continue to engage with children and young people on the climate emergency and other issues that matter to them.
