Calling The EU

For the first time at COP, hundreds of young people from across the European Union are here to make their voice heard.

The role of the EU is more important than ever. Tomorrow, Heads of State will decide on the EU Energy and Climate Package – this will directly affect what the other major countries commit to within the UN system

We’ve sent letters to our Members of European Parliament, created actions for the press, spoken to negotiators – but the news from Brussels remains bad, so we’ve decided to step it up. With only 24 hours to go before this massive decision is made, we’ve launched a viral campaign to get as many people from across the EU member states to call their Heads of State.

It is empowering and exciting to be part of a connected and powerful group of young people who are helping to lead their nations towards a safer future! So join us – if you live in the UK – call Gordon Brown, he’ll be thrilled to hear from you!

    This is fantastic. The EU needs to realize that to be a leader, you cant behave like they are behaving right now in Poznan and Brussels. Enough of the EU preaching to the world, time for them to do drop double standards and look at themselves before asking the world to do what they are not willing to do themselves…
    You guys rock, thank you

    Not that our climate heroes stateside aren’t doing a fantastic job, but I know that I for one would be even more motivated if our vlogs and PSAs included a British accent soundtrack. Hot.
