With the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP26, due to begin Oct 31 in Glasgow, the Resilience by Design Lab is pleased to share an in-depth look into youth climate activism from the previous COP25, held in Madrid in Dec 2019. Antonia Paquin, a youth climate activist and researcher directed Rise Up COP25 Youth Voices Rising; and it has been produced by the ResilienceByDesign’s Austin Lang. Antonia and Austin are researchers who have worked with Dr. Robin Cox on climate action youth-empowerment and engagement projects through the Resilience by Design Lab.

Rise Up provides insights into a journey of youth climate activism two years ago, a journey that began at COP25 in Madrid and ended in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum in late January 2020. This youth-produced and focused video serves as a hopeful call to action in the lead-up to COP26.
