30 young Canadians from across the country are travelling to Copenhagen, Denmark at the beginning of December for the UN climate change talks as members of the Canadian Youth Delegation. As well as representing the voice of young Canadians and lobbying our government for strong climate action, one of our most important roles at the conference is to link people at home to what is at stake and being negotiated, how our government is representing us, and engaging Canadians with the issues.

This year, we are creating a daily podcast for the two weeks over which the conference runs: December 7-December 18. The podcast will be 2-5 minutes long and will include interviews with climate experts from Canada and around the world, updates from the conference, 'a day in the life of' snapshots of what it is like to be a young person at the international negotiations, and issue or policy backgrounders.

The Harper government is just paying lip service to climate change, they would much rather it wasn't an issue at all. Until the Liberal govt. gets in power don't expect much of a change, Ignatieff should learn some Beatles songs.
