The Future Starts Today - a workshop to explore stories of intergenerational climate action

Date: Saturday, 14 November
Time: 14:30 - 16:00
Location: Global Futures Pavilion

In 2027, a new UN Secretary-General will take office. In a time of geopolitical tensions, challenges to international law, and budget cuts, there is a real risk that climate change slips down the agenda of the UN leadership in this transition. This is the starting point for The Future Starts Today, a project led by individual members of the UN Secretary-General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change (YAG). This workshop will explore stories of intergenerational climate action, gathered through The Future Starts Today and documented in the project report. In particular, the workshop aims to socialise and contextualise the findings of the project report together with the workshop participants. The central questions for the workshop are:

1. What stories of intergenerational climate action can you share?

2. Which of the stories and recommendations in the report resonate with you and your work?

3. What steps are you willing to take to implement these recommendations?
