To mark UN Day 2021 we are delighted to invite you to UNA-UK’s event: Code Red for Humanity, on Thursday 21 October, 17:30 – 19:00 BST.
Join UNA-UK for a discussion with H.E. María Fernanda Espinosa, President of the 73rd General Assembly and Nisreen Elsaim, Chair of the UN Secretary-General’s youth advisory group on climate change.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres recently launched the report ‘Our Common Agenda’, identifying this year as pivotal for our people and our planet. The report outlines a path for a sustainable future, “For people, for the planet, for prosperity and for peace.”
This special event will consider the opportunities provided by this report, with a climate-focused perspective ahead of COP26 in November. It will explore the need for just and rapid action to tackle the challenges of climate change that extends beyond a narrow view of the climate crisis as ‘environmental’ to one that includes issues such as human rights, social justice and gender equality.
Speakers:
- María Fernanda Espinosa, President of 73rd Session of the UN General Assembly
- Nisreen Elsaim, chair of the UN Secretary General’s youth advisory group on climate change and chair of the Sudan Youth Organization on Climate Change
