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.
