Children and climate change: intergenerational adaptation and education

Event date and time: 9:30am-10:30am, Tuesday 23 June

There are currently one billion school aged children around the world, and an overwhelming number of them live in countries grappling with the consequences of a warming planet. For this generation, the climate crisis is a present-day emergency resulting in impairments that will last their entire lives. Climate change is already impacting their health, education, and overall wellbeing, and in turn effecting the prosperity of entire communities and nations. And a lack of education about the solution to global warming, reaching net zero emissions, is a further injustice to current youth fighting for change.

Please join us for an engaging and interactive discussion with representatives from the Children and Climate Initiative to discuss how the climate is impacting children, how Net Zero can be supported through education, what adaptation measures can be taken, and the vital role that schools play in facilitating that adaptation.

Date: Tuesday 23^rd June

Time: 9:30am-10:30am
