The world's youth may only be 18% of the population today, but they are 100% of the future. As the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) approaches, the Plastic Pollution Coalition Youth Ambassadors have created 10 calls to action for world leaders at COP26.

COP26, which begins Monday, November 1, 2021, will bring together politicians, activists, scientists, and citizens from across the globe to accelerate action towards combating climate change.
