'OUR STORIES, YOUR TURN' CLIMATE-BIODIVERSITY EXHIBITION

05-15th of November 2021 | STORY-BASED POLICY BRIEF FOR COP26

11 months. +100 submissions. 5 continents. 6 languages. Urgent messages. Community-centred actions. Solution-oriented works. Climate-nature nexus. Youth stories. Power. Hope. This is the recipe of the mother campaign behind this offshoot exhibit, 'Your Story our Future'.

Between 2020 & 2021, #YourStoryOurFuture has been collecting and amplifying the critical reflections, creative artwork and impactful actions of young people facing and addressing the climate, biodiversity and social challenges that plague the world.

In light of the ongoing annual UN climate change negotiations, known as COP26 this year, we call on policymakers, high-level climate actors and the public to meaningfully take on board, and to support in scaling up, the thinking and solutions proposed and led by youth and intergenerational groups 365 days a year. There is power in narrative and community, and it is time to harness it for our shared Planet and future.
