Since the Copenhagen conference last December was widely disappointing it is important to keep up the pressure on the issue of climate change. The Global Humanitarian Forum of former UN General Secretary is organizing a youth forum to get the ideas of young people to decision-makers. Here is what they write:
Global Humanitarian Forum’s Youth Forum 2010 – Young Adults 4 New Results
“Generations taking on the Climate Challenge”
Nowadays, we can no longer solve the climate challenge separately from each other, be it across nations, across religions, across sectors or across generations. It is of upmost importance that the young generation has a real say in the climate debate and takes action.
From 28 June – 1 July 2010 the Global Humanitarian Forum (GHF), a Geneva based international organization personally led by Kofi Annan, will host its second annual Youth Forum entitled Youth Forum 2010 – Young Adults 4 New Results. Youth Forum 2010 will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, and the overarching title of the event will be “Generations taking on the Climate Challenge”.
150 committed and active international young adults between the ages of 18-30 will be selected as participants through an entry-competition.
We are looking for young people from many different backgrounds! It does not matter if you are a scientist, a musician, a politician or a cook, a young professional or a student. If you are interested in the overarching topic of the event, then we are looking for you!
