What are the Will Steger Foundation and/or delegation doing between now and December to ensure success in Copenhagen?
Delegates have been tasked with domestic campaign work in each of their Midwestern States, calling for a strong U.S. climate bill going into the Copenhagen negotiations. This includes meetings with elected officials, letter-writing campaigns, holding community events, and phone calling. Delegates are encouraged to collaborate with the youth constituency across their state to make the youth voice heard on this critical issue. Delegates have also been presenting information on climate change and the Copenhagen negotiations to high schools in each of their states, in conjunction with Will Steger Foundation Citizen Climate curriculum. High schools have the opportunity to follow Expedition Copenhagen while the negotiations are taking place through online multimedia resources on the Will Steger Foundation website. Students are invited to submit personal position statements on the negotiations, which the delegates will publicize and use to strengthen the youth voice.
