Student-MP Climate Surgeries 2026
GLOBE Student-MP Climate Surgery 2026
At London Climate Action Week 2026, London MP, Barry Gardiner, was joined by Cedric Frolick MP from South Africa and Sam Onuigbo, GLOBE Legislators President, for a Student-MP Climate Surgery at Chalkhill School, in his constituency of Brent West.
Chalkhill Primary School’s Year 6 students met with their local MP and senior African lawmakers to discuss climate change and learn about what action is being taken across the world and by the MP. Importantly, they were also able to offer their own views, actions and experiences.
Extension to Africa
2022 saw GLOBE build on the successes of London and Ireland to extend the surgeries to Africa— host of COP27. Consequently the surgeries were held in Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal with great success. In Nigeria, the surgeries took place in Abia, Abuja, Osun, and Rivers State, with students engaging their MPs both at the subnational and at the national level.

The Student-MP surgeries recorded several successes with engagments extending to the social media.

The Parliamentarians’ Guide to Climate Change
In 2024, GLOBE partnered with University of Exeter and Peers for the Planet to publish the Parliamentarians’ Guide to Climate Change. The publication is a vital resource that draws on the latest climate science to inform and encourage Members of Parliament to take action on climate change. There are plans to translate the report into all three languages of the COP28/COP29/COP30 Troika Presidencies —Azerbaijani, Arabic, and Brazilian Portuguese— as part of the lead-up to COP30 in Belém, Brazil.
At COP29, the Azerbaijani version of the report was launched at the ADA University, Baku. The Arabic and Portuguese versions will be published in 2025.

GLOBE also partnered with Climate Psychology Alliance to produce Mental Health and Climate Communication: Guidance on effective climate change communication with children during the LCAW 2021 Schools Climate Summit.
