Nikash, from the Midlands Schools Sustainability Network (part of the UK Schools Sustainability Network):
"My name is Nikash and I am a pupil in the final year of Sixth Form. Initially quite oblivious to climate changes and its effects on our and future generations, my eyes were opened by a teacher at my school. Since then, we've gone on to start a regional network, connecting with local organizations and institutions to discuss and act upon initiatives to address the eco-related issues."
Students from Trinity Church of England School in Lewisham will also be joining the panel.
