#AfricanHeritageVoicesCOP27
UN Climate Change Conferences (COPs) need more cultural voices. The 2022 conference, COP27, was dubbed the "African COP," making it especially important that African cultural voices were there when it convened in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. The Climate Heritage Network was proud to join with the Union of Concerned Scientists, ICOMOS, and other CHN members and partners around the world for #AfricanHeritageVoicesCOP27, a campaign that supported African cultural leaders and heritage managers to attend COP27 and participate in its processes. The campaign grew out of the CVI-Africa Project.
#AfricanHeritageVoicesCOP27 voices testified about how climate change is impacting the precious places they care for, but also shared African lessons for tackling the crisis. Follow their remarkable journey through this playlist and via #AfricanHeritageVoicesCOP27🌍 on Twitter.
Culture at COP27
From November 6-18, 2022, the world’s focus was on the Red Sea city of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt hosted the 27th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change – also known as COP27.
Climate Heritage Network members and partners worked for almost a year on strategies to amplify arts, culture and heritage voices in and around COP27 -- in Sharm el-Sheikh, across Egypt and the rest of the African continent, around the world, and online. This playlist features events organized by the Climate Heritage Network and its partners.
Climate Heritage Network Youth Forum
Acting on climate is acting on intergenerational equity. Youth-led care for culture has the power to drive transformative change. These principles are at the core of the Climate Heritage Network Youth Forum.
The CHN Youth Forum is open to all young people and emerging professionals between ages 16 and 35. It aims to facilitate both intergenerational and peer learning and help bring local insights to global climate-heritage challenges. Leadership for the Youth Forum comes from representatives of the youth movements and programmes of CHN member organisations. This playlist features intergenerational dialogues, climate heritage narratives, and more centered around youth.
