On 19-20 December 2008, the Youth Parliament Foundation and the Indian Youth Climate Network (IYCN) will hold a two-day Delhi Climate Leadership Training. The two-day training will include basic climate science and solutions, brainstorming national goals, action plans and media skills. IYCN and YP state: We are looking forward to bring together a strong group of youth leaders -- leaders who will initiate and lead grassroots climate groups in their work, schools, colleges and communities; leaders who will organize and mobilize people and their climate projects at a local, national and international level; and leaders who will spread the message about the urgency of climate change and the great opportunity for each of us to create, communicate, celebrate and be climate solutions.Meanwhile, IYCN started a 4000 km tour of India in solar electric Revas (plug-in electric cars) to spread awareness about climate change and solutions. They'll be training environmental leaders at college campuses around the country, conducting green business plan competitions, and dancing to a solar powered band.
The only requirement to participate in this program is passion, belief and a desire in making India a cleaner, more equal, wealthier and more forward thinking nation.
