Abstract:
According to a 2023 study by Galway & Field, 65% of young Canadians feel the government is not doing enough to address the climate crisis. This illuminates a critical need to improve the ways in which youth engage and view policy work. This expert panel hosted by Shake Up The Establishment features young leaders from CityHive, Sacred Earth Solar, SevenGen Energy, and David Suzuki Foundation. Panelists will showcase their policy advocacy experience and discuss issues such as youth engagement in policy, addressing barriers towards political engagement, an intersectional environmental justice lens in policy feedback, and designing climate justice policy interventions.
