Hello, my name is Meredith.
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I am a law student in the big flat (i.e. Saskatchewan) who likes bicycles and gardens. In my life before law school I was a campaigner with the Sierra club of Canada working on energy issues in Alberta. I came to Bonn as a rep for the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition hoping to be inspired. Not by Canadian government action (ha!), but by the potential for change at the international level and ways to integrate lobbying at different levels of government. Each level - municipal, provincial, federal and international - has a different area of responsibility and influence on the other levels. I am looking for ways that we can effectively coordinate our efforts, and our movement, to push the levels of government to push each other to take meaningful action.

While we're in Bonn, PJ and I will be working on a youth guide to participation in the international meetings. I'm excited that this guide could be an awesome tool for help prep future participants. I know there are lots of people out there who haven't yet imagined themselves attending a UN negotiation. I hope that this guide will show you that any of us can be here, just as any of us can have an impact. All it takes is commitment to change and a bit of patience with acronyms and technical documents.

I look forward to seeing your blog from the next international climate change negotiation!

Meredith
