Have your say at Copenhagen ...









The Christian Muslim Forum and MADE in Europe are holding the Christian-Muslim Youth Forum on Climate Change (CMYF) on Thursday 15 October 2009 at Lambeth Palace in London hosted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, our Founding Patron. The CMYF is your chance to tell those in power what they should be doing about climate change.

You can start right now on this website - so get blogging! The key issues being discussed at the Copenhagen summit are:

  • Mitigation
  • Adaptation
  • Technology Transfer
  • Funding

Tell us what you want to say about climate change and what you believe we should be doing to tackle it. Join the discussion on the four key issues and share your thoughts on the relationship between Christianity, Islam and climate change.

Having taken part in the online discussion, 40 young Christians and Muslims aged 18-25 will meet at Lambeth Palace on the 15 October 2009 for the Christian-Muslim Youth Forum on Climate Change. They will spend the day discussing climate change with Muslim and Christian scholars and scientists and produce a statement to deliver to the UK negotiators for the UN Summit in Copenhagen in December. The Forum will be hosted and chaired by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams.

So if you are a British Christian or Muslim aged 18-25, register now to attend the CMYF by filling in this form and telling us why climate change matters to you. As well as attending the CMYF on the 15 October, the two people with the best answers will win the following:

  • Tickets to Copenhagen for the weekend of the UN Climate Change Summit from 11 -14 December 2009 where you will join other campaigners from around the world in a mass march and other activities
  • Tickets to the UK Youth Climate Coalition (UKYCC) Powershift Event on 9 -12 October 2009 for 4 days of speakers and workshops to learn more about climate change and what you can do about it
  • Opportunity to run a workshop on Youth, Faith & Climate Change at Faith Regen Foundation's Faith & Climate Change Conference on 27 - 29 October 2009 as well as tickets to attend the whole conference. Special highlights of the conference include Rt. Hon Ed Milliband, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change as keynote speaker and the results of grassroots discussions on climate change from 10 countries around the world.
