It is a welcoming and interactive online event that allows participants to learn from each other and build friendships nationally but also internationally.
The ‘My Faith & the Environment’: COP26 Aftermath, aims to welcome an inter-generational dialogue, with having different speakers who have experience or have a good knowledge of COP26 and shares the same values with UKIYN. We will be learning from the COP 26 experience – good, bad, and next steps.
There will also be an opportunity for Q&As and interactions in breakout rooms, where we would love to hear your opinions and ideas for environment-related positive actions!
The panellists are part of different faith groups and are actively involved with interfaith communities. They identify and focus on environmental issues most immediate to young people’s concerns.
We will welcome:
