ClimAct Summit 29

COP29 will happen this year in Baku, Azerbaijan from the 11th to the 22nd of Nov. To highlight the importance of this event bringing everyone’s voices on climate change together, on the 29th of November we are organising our very own COP29, the ClimAct Summit 29.

We will be joining a British Council initiative organising our own climate debate with our partner schools and their eco-committees. An interactive, online simulation of UN climate change negotiations that will allow participants to experience first-hand the urgency and scale of actions required by nations to tackle global climate change through a role-playing exercise.

Our event will be a one-day online event with two components:

1) Morning session: students from eco-committees will share their work promoting environmental education and implementing climate action plans.

2) Afternoon session: each eco-committee will be given a country to represent and we will simulate COP29 conversations between countries.

COP29 aims to provide financial support for renewable energy projects and climate adaptation measures in vulnerable countries, considering the needs and priorities of developing countries, so the topics to cover during our event will be around those themes.

Jalan Maharjan, the principal of Holy Vision school will be hosting the event.
