International Climate Policy: From Quiet Diplomacy to Youth Activism

International Climate Policy:
From Quiet Diplomacy to Youth Activism
March 15 at 1pm EDT

Please join us for a discussion about strategies for activism from Kallan Benson, Fridays for Future USA Director and Friend from Annapolis MD and priorities for advocacy, including the Right to a Healthy Environment alongside other efforts from Lindsey Cook, QUNO Representative for Climate Change and Friend from Bonn, Germany. Both Kallan and Lindsey participated in COP 26 in Glasgow, approaching the situation from different perspectives. We will host a dialogue with both of them to share stories and explore collaboration.
Kallan Benson will be with us at 2022 SCYM Sessions. She will offer three workshops (1 with her parent). All are multi-generational, appropriate for Middle School and older. She will be our Keynote presenter and be a resource through the sessions.
