Climate change is a big concern of youth globally

The results of recent survey in Finland shows that climate change and pollution and the biggest threats for Finnish youth, bigger than drugs and wars. It also seems that young people don't think that Finland will do enough to solve problems with climate change.

Results of survey are similar to another poll by UNEP, that took place in five countries . Nearly 90 % of young people across the globe think world leaders should do "whatever it takes" to tackle climate change. Young people are clearly concerned about climate change. Concern is highest in Brazil (96%) and South Africa (91%), followed by India (85%) and the United States (82%), while significantly lower levels of concern are expressed in Russia (70%).

Children&youth example from Ghana


GHANA NATIONAL YOUTH CSOs COALITION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

The Ghana National Youth CSOs Coalition on Climate Change was formed in August 2007 in Accra after series of consultation with a number of youth groups in the country.


The formation of the coalition was triggered by the consistent environmental and climatic situation affecting the development of young people and the country as a whole. Some of these worse situations which were bedeviling the country were the shortfall in the nation's major energy source; the Akosombo Dam due to the rainfall pattern, this had an adverse effect on industries and homes. Another was the flood that hit the three northern regions which rendered many homeless and destroyed many farms.


In view of this crisis and poor management of the environment, Abibimman Foundation, a youth based organization working on environmental issues in Ghana then decided to form a common strong youth front to work on climate change which had then become a global issue in-order to prevent the worse from happening in the country again. This was what gave birth to the coalition.


The coalition which is been hosted by Abibimman Foundation has a mission of engaging young people to effectively preserve the environment and control climatic changes. The coalition which started with a membership of four has now increased to fifteen with effective networking.


Since its inception, the coalition has been educating young people on climate change and engaging policy makers in putting place measures to protect the environment. Before the G8 Summit in Japan this year, the coalition engaged children in some selected public and private schools to write letters and stories to the leaders to act on climate change.
