SAIIA Podcast Episode 2: Youth@SAIIA’s high school delegates to COP 17 talk about the Youth Climate Negotiation and creating the South African Durban Youth and Children’s Protocol on climate change


20 December 2011: From 28 November until 9 December 2011, South Africa hosted the 17th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), known as COP 17.

While the seasoned climate experts and negotiators assembled for the Durban meeting, SAIIA’s youth programme, Youth@SAIIA, sent its own delegation of high school learners to hold a simulated Youth Climate Negotiation in the hope of crafting a youth protocol with action points to fight climate change in their own schools and communities.
