Afterwards . . .
Well today is the 20th of November and we're all done with the COPMOP stuff. The safari COP is over and most of us have returned to our respective villages. The conference seems to have been mostly dissatisfying from whatever news i've been able to gather here in Bangalore.
however some good news seems to be found here :
Politics, economics push countries towards emissions controls
but this is actually an Associated Press article so maybe you've seen it already in some daily!
Here's a big HEY!! to all the people who were there at Nairobi. It also seems that Bali is pretty much decided, since most newspeople here have already printed it as the next destination for the COP. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed! :D(Goofy Grin)
However it seems to me that there should also be sustained effort by all the youth who were there at the previous COPs to try and get going some kind of national movement, however small. Agendas particular to the youth would include the demand for a youth constituency and an international youth conference held before the COP/COPMOP itself.
Cheers to all those who got to rest their tired bodies and souls!
And to sign off - It's Our Time!
(p.s. - this was the motto we adopted at the 2nd Conference of Youth)
peace,
