UNICEF supports Global Youth Climate Movement in Bali

BALI, Indonesia, 12 December 2007 -- On the sidelines of the United Nations Climate Change Conference now under way in Bali, Indonesia, UNICEF has held a series of events to highlight the effects of global warming on children and to ensure that young people are involved in debate on this issue.

To that end, UNICEF supported the launch of a Global Youth Climate Movement by a coalition of more than 30 youth organizations.

The climate change meeting has attracted participants from more than 180 countries -- including environmental experts, activists and world leaders -- in an effort to reach agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and slowing down global warming.
