About this event

Common Home, Common Ground

These webinars are part of our Common Home, Common Ground series. We’ve brought together all the aspects of our public engagement to bring you a really exciting series of interactive and free to access webinars, from May to July 2020. We wanted to create a space where people can come together, or continue, to have climate conversations from home.

Webinar Series 4: Seen, but still not heard? Voices on the Youth Climate Movement

Young people have been striking in huge numbers across the world, speaking to leaders on an international stage and uniting to take a stand against inaction on climate change. But, are they being listened to?

This webinar series will explore what it means to be a part of the youth climate movement, the power that it holds and the barriers young people are facing. Across these four webinars we will investigate the role of the youth movement, shine a light on the emergence of eco-anxiety and look at how we can empower and engage all young people in the climate debate.

We’ll update this page as more speakers are announced, you can also keep up to date by following us on twitter @HopeFTFuture

Monday 29th June, 2-3pm
