UNICEF Climate Change Competition
As one of the follow-on activities from GSF2009 we are inviting all GSF students to enter the UNICEF Climate Change Competition.
The Big Climate Callout
This December, UNICEF and the city of Copenhagen will host a Children’s Climate Forum. The forum will bring together young people from all over the world who will share their views on how we should face up to the threat of climate change.
And world leaders will listen.
Following the children’s forum, there will be a high-level meeting of decision makers representing every country in the world, which could potentially lead to an historic agreement on how to tackle climate change.
Four young people from the UK will travel to Copenhagen for the forum. To secure your place on the team, all you need to do is submit a short video or written piece via the special YouTube channel. Your piece should answer these three questions:
- Why is climate change an important issue to you?
- What can young people do about climate change – and how would you encourage them to take action if you were to go to Copenhagen?
- What do you think the world leaders should decide at their meeting in Copenhagen?
It’s time to stand up for change. Find out more and enter now.
The deadline for uploading your entry is 12 noon on Wednesday 15 July 2009.
Make sure you read this important information about dates and permissions before you apply.
To enter you should be aged 14-17 at the time of the forum in December 2009.
