When the world’s leaders meet in Copenhagen this December, they will be met by fresh recommendations from a conference comprising participants aged 14 to 17 from 42 countries. Each country will send a five-person delegation.
“To children and youth everything is at stake in the international negotiations on climate change. As they will need to live with climate change and the consequences of decisions taken by adults today, they have a right to make themselves heard in the debate,” says Steen M. Andersen, Secretary General of UNICEF Denmark.
The Children’s Climate Forum Copenhagen 2009 will take place from November 28th till December 4th.
