Youth’s contributions towards COP15
Its a great thing to realise that young people are joining hands with all nations to influence change within the communities we live in. Currently participants from the Global Change course (2009) are coming up with action plans for their campaign with regard to the COP15 summit to be held in Copenhagen in December 2009. Young people have been labelled as *people who are into violence, people who do not have visions, people without direction* but let me prove everyone who has that mentality WRONG today… Young people have a major role to play… young people are major tools of change, young people have the voice and young people can take this world to a better level… Youth are mobilizing themselves at different platforms regards ways of combating climate change, and I would like to applaud UNEP for engaging young people in their operations.. I believe the leaders herewith today will listen to the voices of young people which were released towards the upcoming COP15.. I trust that UNEP sees the potential that is hidden in young people hence the need for youth engagement.
I think some efforts are taking place to that respect. I wanted to ask Shiloah and Enjanver if yoy could please mail me on trazzolle@yahoo.com
I am trying to organise a Zim youth voice for COP15 and wanted to get your expert views, opinions and action plans on climate change in Zim…thanks
As young people we need to be in the fore front to protect our earth. We still have a long way on this earth. Adults please help us, we have the energy and you have the wisdom
I agree with you! Young people are going to be the mobilizers, and instead of admonishing them, older generations should be helping to empower them!
