In the lead up to COP28, the UN’s annual climate conference, the Commissioner hosted a Youth Climate Forum, where South Australian young people were asked to contribute to an open letter to the delegates attending COP28. The letter largely focussed on food sustainability as a key focus area.
In the letter, young people identified the things they love about current food sustainability practices in South Australia, while also highlighting the impacts of climate change and the action needed from schools, communities, and governments to ensure a future for children and young people.
