Join Navneet Chand from the Youth Policy Initiative for an interactive climate policy forum!
Learn about what public climate policy looks like in Canada today through a panel discussion from speakers in the fields of climate policy, communication, and youth political mobilization.
After the panel discussion, you will collaboratively tackle a climate policy case study. Through the case study you will work as a team to discuss and write out what sort of considerations should be amended into the Impact Assessment Act to make it more effective, and brainstorm effective strategies for how youth can politically mobilize on this public policy issue.
Navneet (he/him) is a fourth-year Political Science and Women's and Gender Studies student at the University of Alberta whose academic pursuits have been concerned with examining the intersections of legal, political, and policy-oriented spheres with social intersectionality and ethical responsibility. His recent professional work has involved a role as an Undergraduate Ombudsperson with the Office of the Student Ombuds and as a Policy Analyst with Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada. He is eager to engage with participants at AWOL this year to generate actionable strategies surrounding youth mobilization on climate policy issues.
