Youth climate activists are calling on Labour to be bolder or risk losing the support of a generation of young voters at the next election.

Activists from Green New Deal Rising, which has doorstepped dozens of politicians over the past 18 months, are calling for more urgent action on the climate emergency, and want Labour to commit to a “decade of green new deal action”.
