It’s now Day 4 of the Copenhagen conference and the negotiations are starting to heat up! Yesterday, Tuvalu walked out of the negotiations after countries such as India and China…

At the beginning of year 12, the thought of being at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen never crossed my mind. Being thrown in the deep end of VCE…

Coming from Western Australia, Copenhagen couldn’t possibly be any further from my natural habitat. Whilst others seem to adapt rather easily to the 4 degree temperatures, I have to rely, rather heavily on my trusty thermals. I’d like to think having to adapt and cope in a far off place would build something even remotely akin to resilience, because from what I have observed thus far, the UN experience requires it in bucket-loads.

UPDATE: Very recently, two elections for federal seats were called for December 5. Let’s make them climate elections!

Australia’s largest youth organisation, the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, is launching a new campaign to harness one of the most powerful weapon we have in the fight against climate change: our vote.
