Youth Decide: Climate Change

From Felix Riebl (Cat Empire), Dan Adams (Youth Decide) Joel Vanderuit and Darren Cordeux (Kisschasy) oversee the first Youth Decide voters at Federation Square


Youth Decide '09 is a national youth vote on climate change.

The more greenhouse gases we put into the atmosphere the worse climate change will get.

This December countries will agree on a global limit on greenhouse gases at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Countries will each set targets for how much they will reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2020. Australia will have to decide our target as well.

The targets that are chosen will determine the kind of world we will inherit.

There are three possible worlds. Each world is based on the target that Australia sets as part of a global limit on greenhouse gases and is referenced to the most credible science available.
