Nobody wants me


Early in the morning we have set out to Bella Center in order to join the action on carbon emission management. Our aim was to remind all the participants of the opening sessions concerning LULUCF and REDD (forestry management in short words) that the emissions from forestry are also part of the global CO2 accounting. The main message of the action was to change the text of the LULUCF in oder to include new regulations in accounting the forests management in CO2 emissions calculation. Activists from differnet NGOs, interested in the youth forest WG, formed a Lost & Found booth, with „lost CO2 molecules” wandering about, asking representatives of the states and particurarly those from Anex I countries (the most developed) who were on their way to the meeting, to claim their lost CO2 emissions and think, if they haven't met each other earlier in their home countries.


The youth forest WG is in Copenhagen (one of the YOUNGO working groups) to secure a climate deal to protect the worlds intact natural forest, restore the degradated forests and suport indigenous people and local communities in developing countries who wish to reduce their emissions from deforestation and forest degradation through a fair and substantial funding mechanism.
