Therese
I am a student of international development from Norway. I am just starting my internship with the Baha'i International Community (BIC), and one of my first tasks concerns climate change. I have been invited to blog about some of the events of the United Nations Climate Change Conference along with the climate change bloggers at the Voice Project. I am very excited to be part of this, as it is my first time doing this kind of blogging.
As the 64th Session of the General Assembly is opening, world leaders are meeting to talk in preparation of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009. The meeting is convened by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon with a view to providing a forum for leaders to discuss pressing issues at hand and to find common ground. At the same time, New York City is hosting Climate Week NY°C, which features over 50 events focused on encouraging leaders to set fair, ambitious, and binding goals at the Copenhagen Climate Conference.
