Youth Workshops

Young Canadians from the National Youth Round Table on the Environment have already started talking about what inspires them to do something about climate change and to best raise awareness and influence people they know. Here are their thoughts. You can download the Youth Round Table document. (505k, Microsoft Word Document)

If you'd like to comment on their ideas, logon to the discussion forum and let your voice be heard.

The Youth Team from the International Institute for Sustainable Development met with young people across the country to find out what matters to them most about climate change. These workshops identified youth concerns, messages and actions that will be used to shape Canada's Youth Strategy on Public Outreach on Climate Change.

Here is what they said:

• Youth in High School
• Youth in University
• Youth in the Workforce
• Aboriginal Youth
• Québecois Youth in University (in French)

The Youth Team has also been talking with youth organizations to get their ideas on youth communications and developing climate change projects for youth. You can find out more about their youth initiatives on their websites.
