Are your students passionate about climate change? UNICEF Canada and GreenLearning are looking for a team of students, ages 14 to 17, to represent Canada at the Children's Climate Forum in Copenhagen, Denmark from November 29 to December 5, 2009.

At the Children's Climate Forum, more than 160 young people from around the world will meet to write a communiqué that will be presented to world leaders at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 15) in Copenhagen in December. After COP 15, the youth will be supported as Climate Ambassadors to continue peer engagement activities and collaborate with national partners, environmental organizations, and local and national media.

The deadline for submissions is October 8^th. Visit UNICEF for a link to the contest and to learn more about the online submission process. UNICEF is providing this unique opportunity to young people as part of its global citizenship and human rights education programming. Today's children—and tomorrow's children—are important stakeholders in the dialogue on climate change.
