Scientific evidences speak that global climate has been changing due to unreasonable human activities. As the rate of climate change is increasing, the cost to control its impact and slow down its rate is growing. Climate change can grow into a larger and catastrophic problem in future if we immediately don't take concrete steps to curtail overuse of energy and fossil fuels. While policy makers worldwide recognize the importance of stabilizing global climate, international negotiations to implement various policies and measures have stalemated over issues such as potential negative implications for the economies, limited progress by developed countries, reluctance of developing countries to accept binding commitments, etc. As part of next generation youth are those groups of citizen who are seriously going to be affected by these repercussions. So it is imperative that involvement and interest of youth in issues of climate change is checked. Through youth initiatives they can build local, regional, national and even international co-operation and alliance to mitigate impacts and adapt against possible threats of Climate Change. Youth are often the first to take advantages of advances in information and communication technology. They are more open to changes and alterations.* * Youth population holds 18 percent of World's Population. Without participating youth in this process of consultation the real impact of all these adaptation and mitigation effort would be unsuccessful. The generations next, youth, are more vulnerable than anybody else because the serious repercussions of climate change are yet to be seen. The repercussions will make bigger impacts and cause great concerns in coming days. So it is very important we understand the insight and interest of youth towards this sensitive issue and build a framework to participate them. To mark World Climate Change Day 2007 and unite youth to act against this global issue, Youth Engagement in Sustainability (YES) has taken this initiative to build a global network of youth who are concerned and want to act now against CLIMATE CHANGE.
