About

Taking place between Oct. 31 to Nov. 12, 2021, COP26 might just be the most instrumental event in climate change of the year. The ECLC is hosting an information session to give interested viewers a glimpse into what actually happens at this high-profile event. A panel of students of all levels is also invited to engage with climate leaders and professionals tackling these issues every day because the discussion on climate change can happen anywhere.

Goals

  2. Discuss intergenerational science and climate change policy
  3. Encourage youth to become more aware of the global dynamics influencing climate change
