Peake says body is full, but keen for engagement

Student climate protesters claim their voices are being ignored by government.

It's after no one under 18 was chosen to sit on the Climate Change Citizens' Forum, a 36-member body set up to inform policy making. 

There is a student representative on the forum, but not under 18.

Sixteen-year-old Archie Elliott from the Student Climate Network explains to Ewan Gawne why this age group must have a seat:

Ralph Peake MHK, who's chair of the forum, says membership is now full, but he's open to engaging with the students.

Of the 36 members of the forum, 12 are chosen stakeholders, 12 applied to join, and 12 were randomly selected from the electoral roll. 

Mr Peake spoke with Ewan Gawne:
