2008/2010 - Climate

A Young Torches for Science project.

The Youth Citizens Conferences on Climate (former Youth Climate Conferences) is the first world event dedicated to visualise the views and concerns of youth on climate change. We are an alliance of young professionals, dedicated to create opportunities for the global youth to have an substantial impact on their own future. 

The activity was coordinated by MILSET and the Danish Youth Association of Science (UNF).

In the end of 2009, world leaders discussed a new treaty to protect our climate at the UN Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen (COP15).

As the youngsters of this world, and the future of this planet, it is up to you to make sure that your opinions and concerns are taken care of - And we provide you with various opportunities to do so!

From August 2008 to August 2010 various climate related activities for youngsters took place. The activities included a worldwide series of youth conferences and workshops, an online campaign, and various happenings and events organised by our global partners and regrouped 17.000 participants.

OBJECTIVES 

• Be engaged in the climate debate that concerns our future
• Take part in the debate and discover our own personal responsibilities
• Discuss climate related concerns and express them in unison through various activities
• Prepare a statement to be presented in connection with the official UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen, scheduled for December 2009 as well as the following ones
