Can I ask this final question, to any of the witnesses who want to take it up, around the message? Students and young people for the most part are very strongly convinced around the need for climate action and to tackle the biodiversity crisis. I think the challenge is sometimes that it is certain older generations who may need educating. I would even say that within these Houses, there are certain voices that continue to be climate sceptic. Indeed, they would undermine some of the climate efforts that are being made.

Would the witnesses recommend a programme of climate education for TDs and Senators? What message would they have for some of those who are dismissive of a lot of the concerns they have validly raised?
