Youth organisations claim climate justice

Raising awareness of the complex topic of climate justice, its causes and consequences and the responsibility of humankind towards creation are the issues tackled by a statement, which was developed and adopted by the participants of the EYCE and WSCF-E study session “Climate Justice Now!”, which took place from 12th – 18th of September 2010 in the European Youth Centre, Strasbourg, France.

The study session was organised in cooperation with the World Student Christian Federation Europe Region (WSCF-E) and the Directorate of Youth and Sport of the Council of Europe and was an event directly following up the mandate of the EYCE General Meeting in 2009 to address environmental issues in the work of EYCE. It precedes the three year EYCE Campaign to promote Ecological Justice, which will be launched in 2011. Read on →
