US Delegation Acceptance Letter


I hope this finds you well and your summer going fantastic! I am still in DC and just found out great news that I wanted to share with you.

I was one of the 25 youth chosen to serve on the US delegation to the UN Climate Negotiations and fifth meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP15 and COP/MOP5), which will be in Copenhagen from December 7-18!! Basically you've heard of Kyoto, and soon you'll be hearing of Copenhagen! I'll be part of the International Youth Delegation submitting policy recommendations, entering testimony on climate change, and planning demonstrations and actions in response. I could not be more excited.
