CYP Now - The National Youth Agency: Quality - 'I am. You are. We are.'

Since completing training with Al Gore in March 2007, Melody Hossaini, project officer of the participation team at The National Youth Agency, has been involved in a broad range of activities related to climate change.

The United Nations Conference on Climate Change took place in Bali in December 2007 to shape policies and agreements post the 2012 treaty.

Hossaini spent a week in Indonesia representing the UK on the Asian Young Leaders Climate Forum, made up of young people predominantly from East Asia and Pacific, which covers the countries threatened most imminently by climate change.
