Blog feedCOP15 – Glow gets involved
December 17th, 2009
As the world’s eyes were turning towards the UN Climate Change Conference 2009 Glow was getting involved both nationally and internationally.
On the 9th December we were joined by Heather Reid, former BBC weather presenter and professional meteorologist – and 69 Scottish schools!! The opportunity to pose a question to Heather seemed to be a great start to Learning and Teaching Scotland’s coverage this important event. Heather answered the questions posed to her during the live Glow Meet and those that she was unable to answer she will be answering soon in the Sustainable Development Education Glow Group.
In further coverage of COP15 during the Sustainable Development Education Showcase in Stirling on Friday 11th December Glow linked up live to Copenhagen with 2 representatives from Oxfam and WWF. Schools from across Scotland logged in to hear what they had to say and to ask them questions about their roles and how they felt COP15 was progressing. The highlight however had to be at the end of the Glow Meet when Whitelees Primary School played their Climate Change(We Believe) song live in Stirling to Copenhagen. The WWF representative was so impressed he asked for the lyrics which were written by the children and will be using them during the summit to highlight the views of young Scots!!
The UN Climate Change Summit is nearly upon us and people across the globe will be watching as world leaders and government officials meet in Copenhagen from the 7th – 18th December to negotiate new international targets to tackle climate change.
