It has been an incredibly emotional and exhausting last few days here in Poznan. On Friday, the 14th Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Climate Change concluded with very little progress.

Just moments ago, Canada won the collosal fossil of the year award. This annual award is given to the country that has done the most throughout the entire negotiations to stall progress on climate change.

Hey guys,
I'm really lucky to be part of the Canadian Youth Delegation to Poznan this year as a member of the policy team (dealing with forestry and reduced emissions through reduced deforestation and degradation or REDD). I realize this is my first post, but I'm not so great at intros, so I'm...... [view]
