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!

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
