FYEG – the Federation of Young European Greens - is looking for young green volunteers willing to take on the challenge of contributing to FYEG's Working Group (WG) on fighting climate change.

The main goal of the WG is to continue the successful work of FYEG members last year during COP 15 and to follow the UNFCCC process. The WG will also make sure that we maintain positive relations and productive collaboration with YOUNGO (UNFCCC Youth constituency), other NGOs and think tanks.
 
Activities will include taking part in the UNFCCC negotiations as well as other climate conferences, awareness raising campaigns, continuous content wise reflection on climate change, research etc. There will also be a meeting in Brussels on the 28th -30th August to discuss our strategy for COP16 and to reflect on Bonn.
 
Members of the WG are also free to take initiative on what they would like to achieve as part of their activity in this group.
 
To join the Climate Change Working Group or obtain more information, please, send an email to sebastian [at] fyeg.org no later than 4th July 2010, explaining your motivation and including a recommendation letter from the National board of your organisation.

What are *working groups*?
 
Working groups are FYEG think tanks according to FYEGs Internal Rules of Procedure. They gather groups of FYEG members who would like to work on a particular topic: gather knowledge, examine cases and lobby for solutions. WGs will be given a mailing list to discuss their topic. Working groups can also be used to prepare activities for FYEG to carry out and for mutual training and the advancement of knowledge.
