WED celebration: "Kiss the Ground" screening & youth-led discussion

This online youth-led discussion in celebration of World Environment Day (WED) was organised by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Children and Youth Major Group to UNEP.

Humanity cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils. We are the generation that can make peace with land. Attendees were given tips on how to grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils. Let's accelerate action on commitments and be #GenerationRestoration!

Agenda:

• Keynote and welcome speeches from UNEP Goodwill Ambassador and youth experts

• Screening of "Kiss the Ground" documentary (45 minutes)

• Land restoration crash course

• Discussion with youth, UN experts and filmmakers
