Over the past few years the Forum has concentrated on looking at policy issues and the role on the media in reporting on climate change. In the light of the developments at Copenhagen in December 2009 we feel that it is important to address issues pertaining to the future. In consultation with our sister project, Project 90x2030, we are developing a 2-day programme which will take place in October. Since it is the youth and younger generation who will be bearing the brunt of the decisions which government and others are currently taking, we feel that it is important that they are bought into this conversation.
With this in mind we will be bringing together youth and government to discuss the future. This will give youth the opportunity to share their vision of the future as well as voice their concerns about the current state of affairs. Importantly, it will also give government the opportunity to share with youth some of the challenges that they face in making policy and other decisions.
