Leadership Activities
Asian Young Leaders Climate Forum 2007 - Bogor, Indonesia
(Country representative of Vietnam)
In December 2007 as the world’s leaders were gathering in Bali to find political and economic solutions to what has been described as the biggest threat facing mankind in the 21st century, 34 young leaders from all over Asia-Pacific came together to have our own discussions around climate change and draw up our own course of action. Over five days we debated the issues, questioned experts, compared stories and looked at the options. By the end of our stay we had put together a youth strategy and action plan for the Asia-Pacific region which our representatives presented to a wide audience of government leaders, policy makers, activists and the media at the UNFCCC COP 13 conference in Bali.
Our VISION: A dynamic and influential network of young people across the Asia-Pacific and beyond, working toward climate solutions.
Our MISSION:
Advocacy: Being the voice of Asia-Pacific young people on climate change issues.
Action: Mobilising young people to creatively act on climate change aims.
Support: Utlizing cross-sectoral networks to share knowledge and best practices to support the realisation of both member and organisational goals.
