Soka Gakkai International presents:

This session will provide a space for Youth leaders from faith and spiritual backgrounds who are engaged in high-level climate policy, including as national delegates and representatives of FBOs, to reflect on the role of faith in their work and to share key learnings, insights and practical tips.

The session will explore the following key questions: how might faith be guiding youth negotiators in their roles?, how does faith impact negotiation strategies?, and what makes an effective faith-based climate advocacy strategy? The session will also explore some key themes, including youth leadership, intergenerational justice and solidarity, and climate justice.

This session aims to empower faith leaders, faith communities and FBOs to take more ambitious action for the climate through highlighting successful initiatives and personal experiences of young people of faith who are leading such engagement in high-level positions.

This session will introduce some effective climate advocacy strategies being led by young people of faith within high-level climate spaces as well as their faith-based motivations for engaging in climate processes.
