Global Learning participating in UNEP’s Global Children Conference on the Environment
The Tunza International Children’s Conference is a global youth forum of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) that brings together about 1000 young environmentalists from all over the world to share knowledge and experiences on the environment.

UNEP's Tunza conferences are based on Agenda 21, which states that children and youth must be active in decisions concerning the future environment, and that governments should create arenas where their voices can be heard. For more info see www.ua21.no
