As part of an exciting global youth video
competition, young people from around the world have been asked to say
how they are shaping a more sustainable future in short and exciting
videos.
The
competition videos are now ready to view, and the secretariat of the UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change is asking people around the
world to help select the winners.
The
stories range from a project to generate solar energy in Lebanon, to
creating rain water systems in Venezuela and climate “boot camps” in
Uganda.
A
total of over 180 entrants from 77 countries submitted short video
reports on their personal climate actions and activities to raise public
awareness, of which 40 have been short-listed.
The videos of the
40 finalists from around the world can be viewed here:

Votes are possible until 23 September 2016.
The competition has two categories, Climate Action and Public Awareness. Each view counts as a vote.
About the competition
The competition was launched by
Action for Climate Empowerment ACE, the UNFCCC secretariat, in
partnership with Television for the Environment (tve) and supported by
the Global Environment Facility’s Small Grants Programme, which is run
by the UN Development Programme. Young people between
the ages of 18 and 30 have been called upon to participate.
The
two winners of the Global Youth Video Competition on
Climate Change
will travel to the UN Climate Change Conference in Marrakech at the end
of the year and work with the communications team of the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in covering highlights of the
meeting.
