The annual Conference of the Parties presents huge challenges to negotiators, NGOs, youth groups and the organising UN secretariat.
In the latest UK Youth Climate Coalition podcast two members of the team heading to Doha outline the key challenges that they face.
In just over two months they have to become experts in a hugely complex process, learn who all the main British negotiators are and what they look like, memorise the UK’s own emission commitments and perhaps most importantly, raise enough cash to get them to Doha!
The UK Youth Climate Coalition podcast aims to share news and information on what they group are up to as an organisation and give people the chance to hear how young people both in the UK and abroad work to give youth a voice on climate and environmental issues.
