We are at a pivotal point in the fight against the climate and biodiversity crisis. We want to empower the next generation of conservationists and are providing a collection of learning resources to support educators to discuss the key concepts and messages around climate change and sustainability issues.
The United Nations Climate Change Conference is an annual summit attended by representatives of different nations. The ‘Conference of the Parties’ (COP) is a hugely important forum, where the treaties and agreements made go on to define the course of political action on addressing the climate and biodiversity crisis facing our planet. This is a something that is already of great concern for many young people.
