Nicola Sturgeon welcomes COP27 baton relay to Egypt follwoing after from Glasgow

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said “it is only right” we listen to the next generation on climate change, as she congratulated a baton relay that arrived in Sharm El-Sheikh after travelling 4,836 miles from Glasgow.

She said: “Climate change is already having a massive impact around the world and if we don’t take the right action, things will only get worse.

“The hugely inspiring efforts of everyone who took part show why youth action is so important. Not only have children and young people played a significant role in keeping climate change at the top of the global agenda, but they will also face the greatest impacts of climate change over their lifetimes.
