This video provides a summery of Climate Change Coalition (CCChange)s past events UNFCCC COP13 Delegation to Bali, Asian Youth Climate Summit, Energy saving campaign, Earth Day campaign etc.. Moreover, it is a sharing from one of the two Executive Councilors of Hong Kong Climate Change Coalition (CCChange), Serena Wei Wei Gao and Pinky Win Ki Fong, who were sponsored to attend Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) Meeting, which was held at the University of Texas at Austin from February 13-15, 2009. They were inspired and decided to apply what they learned to make CCChange a more sustainable and empowering organization with a broad basis of support. In particular, they emphasis the need to create a climate for change--cultivating a culture of belief, of giving, of embracing diversity, of taking actions to make a positive impact on this earth. They are holding recruitment talks at the University of Hong Kong and CGIU sharing from 17th-20th of March. For more information, check out www.hkclimatechangecoalition.org
more sharing: During the CGI Uconference, we saw a shift in thinking in terms of the role of students in making a positive impact on this earth while empowered by their ideas and beliefs.
I went to the conference with a proposal which seeks to answer the question: how to make Hong Kong Climate Change Coalition, the organization my teammates and I build since the Bali UN conference, into an organization, which is self-sustained in a sense that
NO. 1 it does not depend on external funding, and
No. 2 it becomes a living organism, which lives beyond our years at campus. Here are the things I learned from the conference:
1- Think about how to build ourselves out of the organization from the start
2- Create a more fundamental change of culture
3- Lead By Example, not words.
4- Diversify and Broaden the bases of support
this is awesome serena...you have skills~
