After a year of research and international network building,
CliMates is organizing its first International Summit, bringing together
its active members in Paris to find solutions to climate change of the next
generation.
The CliMates Summit will be the
- To discuss key issues of international climate change
- For youth and students to present innovative solutions to climate
- To promote new forms of international negotiations
The CliMates International Summit
will have three main goals:
- Review and analyze one year of collaborative and multidisciplinary research led by CliMates students
- Stimulate the debate on climate change and promote a student expertise
- Produce a CliMates Call for Action: a list of student solutions and projects to advocate and implement
The CliMates Call for Action will
consist in a series of commitment and recommendations that CliMates will
present and advocate to decision makers at all levels, including to negotiators
of the UNFCCC COP 18, in Doha in November 2012.
The CliMates Call for
Action shall also consist in a blueprint for CliMates and its
partners’ activity for the following year. For this reasons, CliMates invites
its partners (especially student and youth organizations) to participate in and
sign the CliMates Call for Action.
Throughout the Summit, negotiations
will be held in order to adopt different solutions and a Common
Student Position. Using an original method of
discussion, the intent will be to find new ways to unlock current debates on
addressing climate change, and to particularly find ways for youth and students
to contribute.
Each student will formulate and
express ideas to be incorporated in the CliMates Call for
Action, which will be adopted in the Summit's Closing
Ceremony.
Students will negotiate in small
working groups, dedicated to specific topics within the general framework of
climate negotiations. High level experts, from
prestigious research institutions, public and private organizations, will
participate in these working groups in order to guide students in the
discussions and enhance the level of expertise.
Those students are going to make a
lot of noise, would help them spread the word about their initiative?
