This project was a collaboration between LSE Cities, Islington Council, and young peer researchers, exploring how young people think about and engage in the transition to a greener, fairer Islington, and how the council can better respond to their views.

Young people aged 16–26 are often under-represented in local climate and green transition discussions—only 9% of 18–24-year-olds feel they have a significant say. Partnership for Young London (PYL) supported the project by providing training sessions for peer researchers and in-kind advisory support.

The final report sets out 31 recommendations across 10 themes to make green transition efforts more inclusive and youth-led, including safer cycling, free bike provision, co-designed communications, tailored climate education, and better access to green and social spaces
