The second annual U7+ Worldwide Student Forum, was hosted by University College London with support from Northwestern University and the U7+ Student Leaders Board. The Forum brought student voices from 24 U7+ universities in 12 countries to creating solutions that take the interests and rights of future generations into account.
During the Forum, convened under the topic Climate Change: Intergenerational Conflict or Intergenerational Alliance? student delegates participated in academic roundtables that were part of the All4Climate Pre-COP26 Programme, in masterclasses led by UCL faculty, and in peer-to-peer sessions led by the U7+ Student Leaders Board.
Students from U7+ Alliance universities worked with senior university leadership to develop the U7+ Intergenerational Roundtable Series, convened by Northwestern University. This three-part series brought together students and scientists from across the globe for vigorous discussion and debate on the global challenges confronting future generations, from climate change and sustainable innovation to gender inequality and women's rights.
