Building Power After Biden's Climate Summit: A Global South Perspective

This session reflects on the outcome of the Biden Climate Summit and the needs from the Global South. It will be a roundtable discussion of the ways that youth in the US can play a role in supporting the global south, international politics, and the intersection of gender in these actions.

The session makes space for a critical discussion of the implications of US policy on climate change on a global level. We also want to offer opportunities for participants to get involved in international campaigns, like the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and Earth Power. We will introduce the Treaty and Earth Power as a solution on how to localize international coordination to achieve a 1.5 goal. We will be tying the moral obligation the US has to take this on to the Biden Climate Summit, and critiquing the summit on what implementation has traditionally looked like.
