WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COP15 PROCEEDINGS?

I am acting as country coordinator for Zambia on behalf of Debatewise for their Global Youth Panel. Debatewise is forming a panel of 1,000 young people from more than 100 different countries to debate the issues and decisions from the Copenhagen Climate Conference in December.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most important environmental conference to ever take place. What happens there will be felt by all of us for years to come. If you care about the environment you should be thinking about what you can do to make your voice heard.

I am looking for proactive and passionate Zambian youths to join this panel and have their say on what happens in Copenhagen. Members will debate the issues as they arise and will vote on the points that have been made. This provides an up-to-the-minute sense of what young people around the world think of events in Copenhagen and should be of great interest to newspapers and TV.

The panel will continue after the conference; Debatewise will run a series of debates to discuss how individual countries are impacted by the decisions the conference comes to. This takes what happens there, makes it personal, real and local and gives it a depth greater than the cold figures and diplomatic talk of the conference.

This is a unique opportunity to play your part in a very important global event, the consequences of which will have a huge impact on the world you’re about to inherit. It is your right and your duty to have your say. Let your leaders know what you think. Join this panel and you can do so.

The conference runs from the 7th – 18th December. During that time you’ll be emailed with a list of debate motions. If you have something to say, go to the site and make your point. If you just want to vote on the debates you can do that too.

Limited participation is fine, but to join the panel you will need to promise you’ll vote.

If you want to be involved with a unique, pivotal and very important event please send me your name, email address and date of Birth. Send these details to me

Thank you,
