The brilliant Lydia Wainwright at MCS organised a second OxCOP for local schools. The Oxford Mail reporter attended and wrote a fantastic piece so we are going to use that in place of a blog from us.

“Around 100 students took part, acting as delegates for different countries and negotiating climate policy on global themes such as energy, ecosystems, agriculture, oceans, industry, and reparations.

The simulation included intense negotiations and the challenge of balancing climate goals with immediate societal needs.”

“Schools involved included Abingdon School, Cheney School, Fitzharrys School, John Mason School, Kingsdown School, Larkmead School, MCS Brackley, Oxford High School, and Oxford Spires Academy.

Radley College, St Clare’s Oxford, St Edward’s School, St Helen and St Katharine, The Marlborough School Woodstock, The Oxford Academy, The Swan School, and Wheatley Park School, were also part of the proceedings.”
