In the framework of COP 15 Conference in Copenhagen which take place between November 28 and December 4, the Children’s Climate Forum (CCFC) will be organized.
During the meeting young people in the age between 14 and 17 from 42 countries will have opportunity to meet, discuss and exchange the ideas, visions and goals. During the meetings children will elaborate recommendations for the world leaders.

- As they [children] will need to live with climate change and the consequences of decisions taken by adults today, they have a right to make themselves heard in the debate - says Steen M. Andersen, Secretary General of UNICEF Denmark.

CCFC is an international conference arranged by the City of Copenhagen in relation to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP15) and Copenhagen as Climate Capital 2009.

The main aim of CCFC is to enable children to take active part in the climate change debate and to show them relation between the future of the world and their everyday life and to give them opportunity to engage in problems that concern us all.

Last year, as one of the events in the framework of Partnership for Climate, the Youth Climate Summit was organized. Gazeta Wyborcza (newspaper), Poznan International Fair and Poznan City Council invited more than 700 pupils from the whole country to attend the lectures of the best scholars in the area of environment and climate change. The young participants were chosen on the basis of competition for schools to develop ecological project for local area. They had to think out how their cities and towns could be more environmentally friendly. During the December UN Conference in Poznan, delegates from 192 countries had opportunity to listen to students appeal.
