We have three panellists to speak on the topics that have arisen at COP26 in line with their specialisms and the outcome for children:
Professor Sir Michael Marmot, University College London - Child Health, Inequality and Poverty
Dr Francis Vergunst, University of Montreal - Climate Change and Children's Mental Health
Dr Thomas Bundschuh, Sheffield Hallam University - The Climate Crisis and Children's Rights
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-climate-crisis-and-childrens-lives-poverty-health-and-child-rights-tickets-218067685317
Our panellists will explore how the climate crisis reveals and exacerbates existing poverty and health inequalities, how it affects children's development and mental health and how these climate harms have created a child's rights crisis. Without effective climate action, children's lives are likely to suffer irreversible harm, not unlike melting glaciers that cannot be recovered.
During the first part, each panellist will give a keynote presentation. In the second part, the discussion will be opened for questions from the audience attending online via Zoom.
We are running this event as the start of a series of events with academics and stakeholders working together to campaign on behalf of children. In this context, we are also planning a special issue of the Journal ASAP.
Please note, the Zoom link will be sent out shortly before the event.
