Introducing YouthClimate.org – Voices from the International Youth Climate Movement

Ok, so I have some exciting news for everybody. A wild horde of wonderful youth delegates have descended on the UN Climate Negotiations in Poznan, Poland to pressure governments to act, build an international network, raise some hell, and be lulled to sleep in side-events by policy lectures by established NGO leaders. So, with 500 youth delegates running around and reporting on the developments in Poznan there is a lot of online content flowing from a fleet of new and established youth climate blogs, websites, and youtube channels.

Well, all that creative energy needed an established outlet, which you can now find at YouthClimate.org – Voices from the International Youth Climate Movement. It might not look like too much yet, but it is aggregating content from 17 youth climate blogs writing on Poznan, 3 embedded photoshelter galleries by professional photographers affiliated with Fired Up Media, a press room with releases and advisories, reports on actions and events, a Twitter Feed of #poznan, and a Mogulus Video Stream aggregating youtube videos.(h/t to Jon Warnow of 350.org for putting it together in days)

That means…go there now! Check it out.

If you are curious about the various blogs and outlets aggregating to YouthClimate.org – They are listed here:
350.org, BUNDjugend Klimaretter, Climate Crisis, COOLA NER, CoolClimate – спасем климат вместе, Countdown to Poz ’n’ Hagen, Dealing with theGlobal Crisis, EcoLeague International Team/ NEAYEN, FairClimate Blog, FeedBulletin for: generationclimat, It’s Getting Hot In Here, Izzykb’s Weblog, Maayke Aimée Damen, Planet in Limbo, SustainUS, The DailyUN, TIGblogs – Group – Canadian Youth Delegation to Poznan, UK Youth Delegation » Blogs, Eco Singapore – United Nations Climate Change Conference 2008, IYCN – What’s With The Climate?
