ACT NOW - JOIN THE YOUTH CLIMATE MOVEMENT!
2009 is the pivotal year for climate change. In December the worlds’ governments will meet in Copenhagen to negotiate measures to stop climate change. “Act Now!" is a project of Young Friends of the Earth, and it's for young people in Europe who want to learn about climate action and demand justice for the people and the planet from our governments. We're making 2009 the turn-around year of international climate politics!
APPLY: CLIMATE CONFERENCES IN DUBLIN, BERLIN, MALMO AND TOULOUSE
If your are young (age 18 – 29), motivated and believe that our time has come to act, we invite you to join one of the four regional youth climate conferences that Young Friends of the Earth are organizing all over Europe. From October 8 – 11, Act Now conferences will take place in Berlin, Toulouse, Malmo and Dublin. To apply, go to www.actnow09.eu
At these European youth climate conferences, you and more than 200 young Europeans will learn the latest news about climate change and the status of international climate politics, discuss with elected politicians and be trained how to run climate actions, do media work and motivate more young people to join the movement.
