UNA OCEANS & CLIMATE - Is an organization founded in the UK in 2020, by Gonzalo Alvarez, a marine biologist and conservationist - and ardent equal rights advocate - who lives on the south coast of England. Since inception and in a very short time, the group has grown to attract members from around the world, to give them support and a voice that needs to be heard.

On the 12th of June 2021, an international group of concerned young people staged an impressive event, where speakers from around the globe spoke about the issues that matter, convincingly and knowledgeably.

In the run-up to COP-26, the UNA Climate and Oceans Youth Council has organised an exciting youth event addressing some of the key issues facing our planet today.

During the event, you will hear from expert speakers and those impacted by climate issues directly, covering a range of topics.

Students and young professionals from the UNA's Youth Council will be introducing speakers, leading panel discussions, and asking your questions. The event will also feature inspiring displays of artwork, poetry and music in between the speakers.

COP FLOP - This was supposed to be a Blue COP, taking into account the ocean as it is affected by climate change. Sadly, the whole affair was a disaster that failed to ramp up commitment from the worst polluters to adequately address the accelerating consequences of global warming. COP 26 holds the potential to redress the inaction posed by Donald the Trumpeter.
