Challenge Europe welcomes Turkish Climate Advocates PDF Print E-mail

advocates1.JPGClimate Advocates from Turkey gathered for the first time in Ankara on the 11th of July. The first meeting served for the Advocates to get to know one another and to generate project ideas that would contribute to the climate change debate.

The Advocates will work together in the coming months on projects to raise awareness which they will select from possible ideas that range from establishing a web site, recycling waste into bio-energy in rural Turkey, calculating Carbon footprints to the effective use of solar energy in heating and lighting.

Turkish Climate Advocates joined Challenge Europe in 2009 and bring with them a unique perspective on the climate change related issues in the Euro-Mediterranean region. The group will meet once again in September.
