Global Youth Summit: Looking to the Future

Why attend
The first-ever fully virtual IUCN Global Youth Summit (GYS) took place from 5 to 16 April 2021, connecting youth from around the world. In Marseille, join us for the IUCN Global Youth Summit: Looking to the Future for the official launch of the GYS Outcome Statement.
HideDescription
The IUCN GYS: Looking to the Future is a hybrid event, hosted in Marseille during the IUCN World Conservation Congress as well as livestreamed to the world. The event will invite several keynote speakers, host an intergenerational dialogue, and allow for networking sessions. Youth will present the Global Youth Summit Outcome Statement, and anchor it in conservation work by reflecting on how we see ourselves in them, and how to ground them into action. Bringing back our body awareness, creative art and musical perspectives focus, the Summit invites both participants and presenters to embody a healthy approach to enable us to continue working together to amplify the voice of young people during the IUCN Congress, in our respective programmes and projects, and throughout sustainable policy development work.
