Demands by Nordic youth to save biodiversity

These demands should benefit representatives of governments who will sit at the negotiating table in the coming months in order to reach a new global deal on biodiversity.  

At the opening of Fundur fólksins, Sæunn Júlía Sigurjónsdótir, nature conservation officer of Young Environmentalists (Ungir umhverfissinnar), will shed light on demands of Nordic youth to save biodiversity.

Among other speakers at the opening are: 

• Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, President of Iceland 
• Katrín Jakobsdóttir, Prime Minister of Iceland 
• Dagur B. Eggertsson, Mayor of Reykjavík  
• Representative of Reykjavík Youth Council 

The 19 demands of Nordic youth to save biodiversity are put forward in a Nordic youth position paper on biodiversity, and can be accessed here:
