Global Youth Video Competition on Climate Change
Win a Trip to COP23
10 May 2017
Starting today, young people around the globe are invited to share what
they are doing to combat climate change in the Global Youth Video Competition on
Climate Change.
Two winners will get a trip to the UN Climate Change Conference in November
(COP23), where they will join the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) communications team as videographers and reporters. The competition is
open to young people between the ages of 18 and 30 and videos must be submitted
by 18 August 2017.
Nick Nuttall, Spokesperson and Director of the UN Framework Convention on
Climate Change, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be launching the Global
Youth Video Competition for the third year running”.
“I am even more excited about viewing the video shorts that young people
from across the globe will be making and sending in, in order to win a place at
the UN climate conference in Bonn in November," he said.
“With the Pacific island of Fiji presiding over the conference—COP23—I
would like this year to especially urge young, creative people from small
islands and vulnerable coastlines to get out their cameras and their
smart-phones and submit cool, amazing and inspirational videos about how they
and their communities are taking climate action,” added Mr. Nuttall.
“We are seeking to inspire collaboration and learning sharing stories
presented by young people that could be of interest for their peers around the
world,” said Angelica Shamerina, Program Advisor with the UNDP-GEF Small Grants
Programme, which is supporting the competition.
“For our programe, support of the young generation is a priority,
especially on the issue of climate change given that the young people will face
the most severe climate impacts and are the future leaders of efforts curb
greenhouse emissions and build resilience,” she added.
The two categories for this year are:
* Climate friendly and resilient cities
* Oceans and climate change
The third Global Youth Video Competition on Climate Change is co-organized
by the United Nations Climate Change secretariat, the UNDP GEF-Small Grants
Programme -- https://sgp.undp.org/ -- and will be implemented through the
