Dear members,
You will be pleased to know that the young members' 'Cooling the Planet' competition featured in a parliamentary committee enquiry on geo-engineering last Monday afternoon.
The link below will take you to a video that shows me giving evidence to the committee on behalf of the Institution and the competition came up several times during the 50 minute session; the main discussion about it being after around 30 minutes when one of the committee members asks me directly about the activity. We are having impact already, and we have only just started, so please say well done to those young members in your groups that are participating.
I am sure this is just a taster of what is to come in terms of political influence (according to our political affairs people, the competition was a key driver in the committee asking us to come forward to the oral session).

In addition I have attached a news piece about our participation in the enquiry which will be placed on the front page of the IMechE website later today.
Kind regards,
Secretariat,
IMechE UNITEN
