Description
Combating climate change and its impact is critical for promoting global sustainable development. This call is one of many activities the British Council is delivering in the run up to COP26 (the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties) which takes place in Glasgow in November 2021. The aim is to harness the power of people all over the world particularly young people and those most vulnerable to the effects of climate change – to connect and collaborate through culture and education to combat climate change.

As part of the workshops, participating in early career researchers can apply for funding prizes to further develop their research.
