Joined the advisory board for the Generation Hope programme at the London Natural History Museum, on behalf of Force of Nature. Generation Hope first ran in 2023, ran for a second time in 2024, and will be running again in 2025. Generation Hope is an initiative led by the Natural History Museum in collaboration with young climate leaders from across the world, empowering young people to become advocates for the planet. It creates a space where scientists, activists, creatives and others can come together to explore both challenges and solutions in the planetary emergency. Through talks, workshops, storytelling and more, the free programme helps young people understand the science, build confidence and skills to talk about the issues, and connect with one another to foster collective action. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/events/generation-hope.html
