In the Departure Lounge!

I'm sat at Heathrow airport, waiting for my flight to board, ready to head to Rio for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. This is a once in a generation summit and I hope that, along with the rest of the delegation from the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, we can get serious consideration of the issues faced today and in the future by citizens of the world and how those issues differently affect people based on age and gender.

The Guardian have published the text under negotiation as it current stands and I encourage you to look at it and contact your government delegation with any points that you think it is imperative that they consider.

WAGGGS have published an article on actions that you can take for the comfort of your own home - you don't need to be in Brazil to engage with this conference!
I hope to have another update for you after my flight.
