Engaging Youth to Create a Better Urban Future
This event is a free, one-hour lecture, hosted by Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education. The event will be live-streamed from our Lecture Theatre, so you have the option to join us online or in person.

Our keynote speaker, Dominique Palmer, will explore how the ‘urban theme’ has shaped her recent work, highlighting the connection between air pollution, inequality, and access to a healthy environment. She will discuss how these local issues intersect with broader global Climate Justice movements. Dominique will emphasize the critical role young people play in advocating for intersectional and equitable climate action, citing the success of movements like Fridays for Future.

She will also share inspiring examples of youth-led initiatives in urban areas aimed at improving access to nature, clean air, and rallying marginalized communities. Drawing from her own experiences, including conversations with the Mayor of London, Dominique will address the importance of involving young people in decision-making processes to create more sustainable and equitable cities.
