As government officials and other interested parties are gearing up for the new round of discussions on Climate Change to be held in Bali (December 3-14th, 2007), Plan is supporting children to claim their right to a voice in international policy-making on Climate Change.

Indonesian students plant a tree in Besakih village on the island of Bali. Indonesia, which has been losing its forests at a rapid pace in recent years, launched a campaign to plant 79 million trees ahead of next month's U.N. climate change conference in Bali.

To date, children's voices on climate change have been largely absent from UN Climate Change negotiations. Plan believes children have the right to be heard and to expect the Kyoto Protocol successor to meet their needs - given that children will bear the greatest consequences of climate change.

Four young people from the Philippines, Sweden, UK and Indonesia will be in Bali and will take part in the event by observing the negotiations, challenging ministers and official delegates, participating in side events, and helping design a process whereby thousands of their peers can have their voices heard in future international climate change meetings.

The young delegates will be sharing their views on the impact of climate change in their lives and that of their peers and communities; and share their ideas on how we can educate and inspire others to work together to address the challenges brought about by climate change.
