I'm a young climate activist and I'm worried about Scotland's future. Here's why

from The National Podcast · host The National Podcast

A young Scottish climate activist has said they are “terrified” that people seem to “forget” about the devastating impact of climate change. Dylan Hamilton, policy coordinator for the Alliance of Non-Governmental Radical Youth (Angry), told The National podcast that he wishes people in Scotland would take the changing climate “more personally”. Hamilton, who has advocated for climate justice on the global stage at COP28 in Dubai, said that the recent wildfires in Scotland and the UK should be a “signal for people” about the reality of climate change. In this episode, he is interview by Abbi Garton-Crosbie to discuss the challenges our country faces. Support The National for just £1 for three months: www.thenational.sco/subscribe
