Last month, Dahdaleh research fellow Mark Terry attended the UN climate summit, also known at COP28. Mark shared updates about the Planetary Health Film Lab (PHFL) and participated meaningfully in discussions about neurodivergent representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On December 1, 2023, Mark Terry held a press conference for the United Nation\u2019s Framework Convention on Climate Change\u2019s Youth Climate Report, a partner program of the UN that curates and presents videos produced by the global community of youth for presentations at the COP conferences each year. This year, the PHFL, co-led by Terry, presented six films<\/a> made by Indigenous youth in Belize. One of the films titled The Importance of Securing Land Tenure<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Sebastian Cho, was screened to the international media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A first for PHFL videos this year was the daily screenings of each of the six films all day, every day prior to major events, plenary sessions and negotiating meetings in the Blue Zone. The films were showcased as \u201cpre-session content\u201d to highlight the UN\u2019s International Decade for Indigenous Languages. The films from Belize this year included the native Maya languages of Mopan and Q'eqchi. COP28 had the largest attendance of all UN climate summits with 97,372 registered delegates in the Blue Zone. As a result, thousands of international delegates saw the PHFL films prior to their meetings during the two-week conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
