Seven eco-minded students from Years 11-13 attended the Mock COP at Highgate School on Wednesday. Each student was assigned a country that they had to research beforehand and then represent during the afternoon. There were twelve countries in total including Brazil, Bangladesh, EU, Uganda, Marshall Islands, India and China. Five different local schools took part in the event, so students had to discuss issues in teams with students they didn’t know. Students had to introduce their countries and suggest proposals that would be beneficial to their country while helping tackle climate change. They had to vote on the key proposals from the actual COP30 taking place at the moment, and in my opinion they made a lot more headway than many of our actual world leaders!
