International Research on Global Climate Change - SURVEY
TBC has been approached and agreed, to support an important research project exploring the attitudes of young people from across the globe on the changing climate and its impact on the environment (natural, built and economic).
This is being led by the University of Sussex and a team of community action expert researchers in the UK on behalf of the British Council.
This relates to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the UN COP 2021: Climate Change

This year the UK is hosting a conference dedicated in progressing the international plans for mitigation against increased and accelerated global warming. This COP 2021 is hosted in Glasgow, UK during November and will be supported by a pre-conference in Milan, Italy in September where further discussions will be had on the transition to sustainable development.
The purpose of this survey is to understand the views of the global youth community and to present them during the Pre-COP discussions to influence the sustainability of the outcomes of these conferences.
Sustainable Development Goals 2030
UN Agenda – Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
This Agenda is a plan of action for people, the planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognize that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.
People
We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.
Planet
We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations.
Prosperity
We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature.
Peace
We are determined to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development.
Partnership
We are determined to mobilize the means required to implement this Agenda through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people.
This has led to the development of 17 Goals:
