Dear friends,
2010 marks the second year of the IFLRY Climate Change Programme. It is aimed at developing, deepening and expanding the voice and activities of young liberals on the issue of climate change and climate-related policies. Committed to influencing public debate and political decision-making as well as focusing on capacity building within the IFLRY network, we have adopted the IFLRY Climate Change Programme 2010. Part of the IFLRY Climate Change Programme 2010 is to set up the IFLRY Climate Change Team.
The IFLRY Climate Change Team shall consist of the IFLRY Climate Change Programme Manager and up to eight representatives of Member Organizations who are competent in climate change issues. The IFLRY Climate Change Team will serve to assist the IFLRY Bureau with the implementation of the IFLRY Climate Change Programme 2010.
The main elements of the IFLRY Climate Change Programme 2010 are:
- To participate in all major UNFCCC events, especially the COP 16 in Mexico at the end of the year;
- To develop a general IFLRY position on the issue of climate change as well as specific positions on current debates;
- To actively promote our positions within Liberal International;
- To brief MOs on potential activities including documentation;
- To archive all activities in one central activity database; and
- To organize or co-organize, as the case may be, young liberal climate change events, especially seminars.
It is foreseen that the IFLRY Climate Change Team will carry out its work mainly through online platforms and telecommunication. Physical meetings may be held in addition. The IFLRY Climate Change Team Members will be appointed for the duration of one year.
Nominations for the IFLRY Climate Change Team are now open. Please submit a
CV or
Resume, as well as a
motivation letter (minimum 200 words) in which you describe your motivation to be part of the IFLRY Climate Change Team. Nominations should be submitted by an official representative (President, Secretary General or International Officer) of an IFLRY member organization no later than 17 March 2010 and should be sent to climatechange@iflry.org . The composition of the IFLRY Climate Change Team will be decided upon by the IFLRY Bureau and will be announced not later than 24 March 2010.
If you have any questions or remarks, please contact us via climatechange@iflry.org .
Liberal regards,
