Description
The Queen's Birthday Party (QBP) is celebrated as the UK national day, and is a major public diplomacy event for the UK in India network, as well as a key opportunity to strengthen contacts across all the different sectors that the UK works on. It is an opportunity to promote UK priorities, and project the creative, dynamic and collaborative nature of the UK-India relationship.
Each year a theme is that reflects the High Commission's main priority for that year. This year the theme will be Green is GREAT.
The UK has long been an advocate on issues like sustainability, clean energy and tech and has introduced many initiatives domestically to curb the climate change e.g. UK is committed for a net zero electricity production by 2050. This year the UK will host the world's major climate conference, COP26 (26th session of the Conference of Parties), in November. As a result, helping to raise awareness of the challenges of climate change and bringing about greater action to tackle them are the UK's priorities for 2020. We want to use the QBP to celebrate what the UK and India are together in this area: across Green tech, electric vehicles and biodiversity as well as other areas.
Our 'Green themed QBP for 2020' will showcase UK messages on green issues through bill board branding, photo opportunities, videos and displays.
It is also very important that the event itself is sustainable - we are looking for green solutions throughout the event to make sure that we are e.g. not using single use plastic, limiting energy use and "practicing what we preach".
