Room 1101 Van Munching Hall, 12:15 - 1:30pm
Youth Involvement at UN Climate Negotiations
So you know about the UN climate talks, you've heard a bit of what transpired in Bali, Copenhagen, and Cancun, and you're still not sure what to make of it all? Through the lens of a youth advocacy group, we'll follow the most recent talks in Cancun, paying special attention to the ways that civil society can encourage dialogue, spur on progress, and just maybe- light the way to a real deal.
Caroline Henderson, a student in the Government and Politics Department, will join us this Friday to provide an overview of youth at UN climate negotiations, including highlights and victories from youth involvement. She will also provide a summary of Cancun’s outcomes and describe what's next, including looking toward Durban and role of youth and civil society at COP17 (17th Conference of Parties under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change).
We look forward to seeing you at our discussion.
Best,
Your EESG Team
