I bet you knew about COP15. I bet you want to contribute somehow and feel like you’re doing something useful. I bet you’ve always needed a sort of push to move forward or a motivational speech from leaders. Nevertheless, perhaps you don’t even believe in activism and masses of people creating awareness.
What else do you want? You either do something or don’t do anything. And if you don’t contribute, I won’t judge you, but you’d miss an opportunity to learn more about what motivates others to get involved.
Anyway, here are some opportunities for brave people who don’t get bashful at the view of environmental conference ads and twitter posts. First of all, you ALL should know about the ‘Conference of Parties’ #15 OR COP15. The conference is hosted by the United Nations in Copenhagen, in December 2009 and is the biggest climate festival of our generation.
Here’s how you can get involved and do something no matter if you are in Copenhagen or abroad:
The G-1 Billion team is gathering a team of 20 reporters from 15 countries that will chase stories in and around the conference, reporting back right here on this blog. +here on twitter. There are lots of opportunities!
Join the global movement to save the climate. YoU-Turn the Earth! Greenpeace International is present at COP15. Get involved!
Time is short to reach the goal of 15 percent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020, so companies need to be showing now which technologies and solutions have the biggest impact on overall emissions. COOL IT Challenge is supporting this!
Get inspired by Swedish cleantech and Swedish expertise on how to reduce climate emissions! swedencop15
What am I doing, you ask? I am part of the Support Team at G-1 Billion.org, the youth press agency that covers what comes out of COP15. I am also promoting cop15 and environmental issues on social media. I’d love to hear from you, whether you are from an NGO or just someone who wants tips on how to participate to the fight against climate change.
