Climate School Conference 2025

Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time, and understanding its complexities is essential for the next generation of leaders. A group of Year 10 students recently had the opportunity to attend a Climate Conference held at Haberdashers’ Boys’ School. The event provided a platform for students from various schools to come together to discuss the causes and consequences of climate change, as well as explore potential solutions through international cooperation. Tiffany (10 Ansuz) shared her thoughts on the day:

“Recently, a group of Year 10 students and I attended a climate conference held at Haberdashers’ Boys’ School that really opened my eyes to the issues we are facing. To start off the morning, we heard from an amazing speaker who had a very impactful lecture on climate change and the human causes of it versus the natural. Afterward, students from different schools such as Immanuel College, Watford Grammar and Habs Boys, presented their arguments and resolutions particularly focusing on international collaboration to provide finance to nations who suffer the most from climate change. It was fascinating to hear different perspectives, especially when some argued for immediate action while others suggested more gradual changes. The fruitful debates made us realise how crucial it is for our generation to engage in these discussions and advocate for sustainable solutions. Overall, it was an enlightening experience that motivated us to think more critically about our environmental impact and the future of climate change.”

Attending this conference not only deepened students understanding of climate change but also highlighted the importance of open discussions and collaborative problem-solving. The diverse perspectives and passionate debates reinforced the need for urgent and informed action to safeguard our planet’s future. As young individuals, our students have the power to drive change, and experiences like these inspire us to take responsibility for creating a more sustainable world.
