| Plan-ed is delighted to be part of the Children in a Changing Climate coalition. |

Children in Changing Climate offers an opportunity for people to think big and start taking timely action on strengthening children¿s role in tackling climate change. Children in a Changing Climate is a global collaborative action-research, advocacy and learning programme that aims to secure children's influence in preventing and adapting to climate change at every level - from their families and communities to the United Nations climate change negotiations. The programme brings together leading research and development organisations, each with a commitment to share knowledge, co-ordinate their actions and to work with children as protagonists rather than just as victims. Never has it been so urgent for children to have the chance to influence international policy making. Climate change poses immense challenges to children's futures and there is just a small window of opportunity for the international community to act. Working alongside Plan-ed in this collaboration are Footprint Friends, the leading environmental social networking site for young people. Footprint Friends will be hosting forums and blogs from international conferences on climate change and making as much space as possible for youth voice in these conferences and negotiations. Karen Ford, Founder of Footprint Friends, said, ¿Joining the Children in a Changing Climate group is of considerable significance to Footprint Friends. The shared mission of giving young people a voice on climate change makes this partnership a natural development for footprintfriends.com and brings greater international dimension to our on-line communities.¿ |
