Youth4Nature will be hosting an event at the IUCN One Nature, One Future Global Youth Summit on Wednesday, 7 April 2021, 13:00 - 15:00 UTC.

In an effort to invite even more voices to the table, we are inviting youth and private sector representatives to share their perspectives and opinions about how the private sector can better engage with youth, climate, and biodiversity solutions. We welcome insights from individuals as well as groups, and will incorporate the collected responses into the event.

More about our event:
The private sector is one of the main sectors of the economy impacting the environment with fossil fuel emissions. The direct and indirect social and economic consequences of private sector engagement can be both positive and negative. We seek to bring to the table stakeholders who do not usually have the opportunity to discuss and share their knowledge, reflections and actions, as a way to move forward on environmental and social justice topics.

This intergenerational event will reach high-level politicians and industry leaders, as well as young people who may not have a current awareness of nature’s role in our global economy. Led by Youth4Nature, we will bring together expert speakers from NGOs, global governance, multinational corporations, environmental consultancy firms, and other fields to focus on the private sector’s engagement with nature through supply chains and externalities, as well as opportunities for improvement and youth engagement. The event will have a global, intergenerational focus, with voices from various UN global regions.
