Description

The increasing world temperature affects the weather rapidly and causes catastrophic events like mega typhoons, extremely warm weather and more. Here is a chance for you to make a change and bring your voices to the global stage! This summer, several youth delegates of the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference 2022 (COP27) are organising three face-to-face "Youth Dialogue on Climate Change" sessions at HKBU, HKU and CUHK. The events aim to create a platform for local youth to voice their thought on climate change and hope to develop new environmental advocacy strategies for Hong Kong. The organising committee is working hard to ensure your voice will also be heard by the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. The Youth Dialogue aims to highlight, inspire, and recognise youth's role in climate action to raise awareness, create a call-for-action, and prepare young climate advocates across Hong Kong for more significant, global dialogues in the lead-up COP27. Upon completion of the Youth Dialogue, you will get a certificate of attendance.

全球氣溫上升逐漸引發災難性的氣候現象,如:超強颱風、極端天氣等。現在就是你將關注氣候的聲音帶到世界舞台的好時機! 在暑假進入尾聲之際,第27屆聯合國氣候變化大會 (COP27) 的香港青年代表將分別在香港浸會大學、香港大學及香港中文大學舉辦三場面對面形式的「氣候變化之與青年對話」,為青年提供一個討論本地氣候變化經驗和環境倡導策略的平台,主辦委員會亦會積極把青年關注環境氣候的聲音帶入新政府,期望為香港環境倡導提供新的發展方向。 「氣候變化之與青年對話」強調、啟發和識別青年在氣候行動中的角色,以提高他們對氣候變化之認識、呼籲採取行動,並讓全港的青年氣候倡導者為2022年第27屆聯合國氣候變化大會 (COP27) 更大規模的全球對話提前做好準備。所有參加者將獲頒一張出席證書。
