Voices, Stories, Actions: Adolescent Girls Using Education to Fight Climate Change
Join FHI 360’s celebration of International Day of the Girl by participating in a virtual roundtable on how adolescent girls use education to combat climate change and promote gender equality. FHI 360 will host this dynamic, interactive event alongside the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO); U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID); and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
Participants will discuss the role of education in sparking and supporting grassroots movements led by adolescents, including marginalized girls, to increase understanding of how climate change affects their communities and how education can reinforce adaptation practices. The roundtable will feature young leaders from Bolivia, Egypt, Nepal and Zambia, who will share their experiences in using education to fight climate change. By amplifying their voices, stories and actions, the roundtable seeks to inspire change, foster partnerships, and promote a more resilient and climate-smart education agenda.
Engage in this enlightening conversation and hear how adolescent girls around the world are working to create enduring change in their communities.
