Sujet:	Climate Change: Learn how youth are part of the solution
Envoyé:	Oct 24th, 2008 - 15:58:28

	Does it seem like everyone is talking about Climate Change lately? So many of the pressing global issues being discussed currently are directly connected to Climate Change. The rising prices of food worldwide are related to government subsidies on bio-fuels, one method of impacting climate change. People being displaced from their homes due to environmental degradation and extreme weather are being referred to as 'Eco refugees', and may outnumber the amount of people displaced due to war and conflict. Do you feel as if you aren't sure what is being done to stop this from happening? One thing is for certain, any action we take has to be a global effort. The solutions to Climate Change are being negotiated by our governments and the next meeting is taking place in December in Poznan, Poland. It may seem impossible that you could influence such a high-level meeting, but youth will be present in Poznan and they will be making their voices heard. Find out why these negotiations are important, how they affect you, and what youth are doing to make sure the voices of future generations are taken into consideration when our governments sit down to negotiate the future of our planet.
