Consultation has concluded

Belfast Climate Commission Youth Working Group have designed a youth led, action research project to explore young peoples’ views and opinions about a range of issues associated with Climate Change. The ultimate aim of this project is to inform the planning of a locally based event scheduled for 5th November 2021, to coincide with COP26, which will be held in Glasgow (this is the United Nations Global summit known as the Conference of the Parties).

The following survey has been designed as part of this study, in order to capture the views and perspectives of young people (aged 13-24 years old) living in Northern Ireland, about climate change.

You are invited to complete the survey, which should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. You will be asked to answer questions about yourself, your knowledge and understanding of Climate Change and how this affects you. No personal contact details are required and all responses will be confidential. The findings from the survey will be used to inform a report which will outline the key issues, views and perspectives as identified by young people.

We would like to thank you for your time. If you have any further questions regarding the survey please contact resilient@belfastcity.gov.uk
