Our voices count: young people with disabilities and climate action
Organized by UNICEF and IDA
16/06/2021
On Thursday 24 June 8:30 to 10:00 AM CET, UNICEF and the International Disability Alliance will provide a forum for exchange, moderated by Dr. Yolanda Muñoz, on how persons with disabilities and their representative organizations can participate in climate action at a local level. In particular, this event will engage young persons with disabilities in identifying effective strategies to strengthen their advocacy. This discussion will build on the substantial gains that have been made in recent years in terms of strengthening participation by persons with disabilities as actors in humanitarian responses, including public health emergencies.
CART will be provided.
