On 24 and 25 November, the British Council is organising a “Youth Summit on Climate Change and its Impact on Cities.” This will bring together on the one hand a group of young scientists from the UK, Switzerland, the USA and Bangladesh and on the other, a group of young leaders from Switzerland and the UK.

The aim of the Summit is to allow the scientists to communicate their work to the leaders of tomorrow as well as today and to facilitate dialogue between scientists and political and economic stakeholders on climate change issues and on the scenarios for cities. The young scientists will work with mentors and professionals from the media and from think tanks in the days preceding the Summit.
