CONFERENCE OPPORTUNITY: Global Indigenous Youth Summit on Climate Change

CEMiPoS researcher Seira Duncan has shared a call for registration to the Global Indigenous Youth Summit on Climate Change, hosted by Future Earth. Registration ends August 9, 2024.

The Global Indigenous Youth Summit on Climate Change is a chance for young Indigenous Peoples across the globe to come together and achieve the following goals:

• Providing a ‘one of a kind’ platform to accelerate global engagement with Indigenous youth communities, cultures, languages, ethnicities, countries and continents across the world;
• Sharing youth perspectives, approaches, observations, concerns, interests and strategies to address the local impacts of climate change across Indigenous communities on Earth;
• Stimulating lifelong learning among Indigenous youth to contribute with knowledge and skills in the evolution of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and related global agreements that have regular Conferences of the Parties;
• Enhancing intergenerational synergies in view of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and other Indigenous declarations;
• Inspiring Indigenous youth leaders to think short-to-long term across their lifetimes into the 22nd century to empower progress with sustainable development at local-to-global levels.
