Eyup Kizilcay - MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering, University of Sussex. He is currently working as a Body Assembly Engineer in Production Engineering division for Toyota Motor Europe. Even though climate change is a result of technological development, he believes innovative technology is the only way of out. Cause, humankind is in a point where can not move backward. Simply no body can imagine a world without electricity, cars, computers, or planes. Cause it is a part of our civilization that it has taken centuries to create. Just we need is to change the way of thinking and take into account environmental aspects in any step forward technological development. He believes in low carbon future and his dream is zero carbon emission cars.
Climate Change
We are working to strengthen networks and relationships among decision makers, influencers and future leaders worldwide to tackle climate change.
Maher Nasser, Director of the UN Information Service, invited Climate Advocates to submit their 'Jezersko Principles for Climate Action to the UN competition 'What would you say to to world leaders?'
UK Climate Advocate Jane Burston responded to this request by recording a short video about most important principles from the Climate Camp: binding emissions targets, an alternative to GDP, a fair deal for developing countries and accountability for delivering on agreements made at Copenhagen.
The British Council in Slovenia organised an international climate camp in Jezersko where young Climate Advocates from Great Britain, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Slovenia and Turkey formulated the Jezersko Principles for Climate Action, which they would like to see addressed by the world at COP 15 and beyond.
