Cultivating Youth Collective Power: Addressing the Biodiversity Justice Gap
As COP17 calls the world to take action for nature, we must also ask: Is that action just?
Join us for a three-part learning journey that looks beyond how much nature is protected to examine who makes decisions, whose knowledge and rights are recognized, who carries the costs, and who benefits from biodiversity action.
Together, we will move from understanding global policy to shaping collective youth positions and preparing for meaningful, coordinated and accountable participation at COP17.
