We want to hear from YOU!

Have your message of #ClimateHope heard by the UN

As we move from Peace Day towards #COP26 this Climate Week, Roots & Shoots is amplifying the vital voices of young Aussies – so you can be heard by the UN! Tell us what YOU think, as we create solutions together to address the entwined humanitarian and environmental crisis of climate change.

You may be a writer, a photographer, artist, videographer, poet, performer, dancer, or something else – however YOU want to express your #ClimateHope is up to you.

Some questions to think about could be:

🌱 Do you have a vision of countries collaborating to create solutions?
🌱 Will our culture shift to highly value and deeply respect indigenous knowledge?
🌱 Will the climate crisis be a catalyst to also address social and racial injustice?
🌱 Are humans more connected to our other earthly beings post-pandemic?
🌱 How are you already making positive impact – to your life, family or community?

Whatever your reasons are for #ClimateHope, it’s your personal point of view and passion that counts. We will reshare the best entries on our Instagram accounts (@rootsandshootsau and @janegoodallau) plus Facebook – PLUS with Dr. Goodall herself! You never know, she may even share one during her COP 26 speeches…!
