TIGblogs - Climate Change Action beyond Montreal

Climate Change Action beyond Montreal

In this blog, we report live and direct from the eleventh Conference of the Parties (COP) of the Climate Change Convention and the first Meeting of the Parties (MOP) of the Kyoto Protocol in Montreal, Canada. We discuss what's going right and what's going not so right at the negotiations and the many side-events, and share our experiences at this massive event. As we're attending the Climate Youth Summit before the COP/MOP, we keep you up to date with that as well. After the Conference, we'll regularly post on everything climate change related that comes up!

And now for something completely different... About this event: Beyond Kyoto – It’s Us! International Youth Summit and UN Conference on Climate Change Youth Delegation
This is a poem, written by one of the other Youth delegates, Jessica Thiessen, who is from the Yukon, northern Canada. It was part of one of the youth expression events at the COP this week. Hope you like it! Yukon Spring The sun hums to herself Trying to sleep Slow to wake Reclaiming the winter sky The midnight light Leaks through cracks in the wall The moon fights for place in the heat Battling mosquitoes (seeking blood) Snow lingers, Holding forcefully its intermittent ground pathetic patches Wetness squelched by the victorious sun Attacks aimed at earth's viscosity Dries the blood under withering skin Nutrition trapped Under icy mirrors Reflect the ache Of a hungry caribou belly Snow lingers, Holding forcefully its intermittent ground Pathetic patches Holding life
