One week remains to enter the West Midlands' young climate change champions competition of 2007!

Published: 27th November 2007 13:57

Young people aged 11-18 have just one week left to get their entry in to have the chance to win a year in office as a climate change champion.

Winners of the competition will:

* spend a busy year 'in office' communicating how people can reduce their carbon footprints and tackling climate change by taking simple and effective action

* take part in a European fact finding expedition to see the effects of climate change and how the issues are tackled by other communities

* receive £1,000 to organise a climate change themed event at their school, college or within their community

* receive a digital camera to record their experience as a champion

* meet with senior Government Ministers to share their ideas on the problems we face and ways these issues and their solutions can be communicated to audiences of all ages

Climate Change Minister Joan Ruddock said:

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing us and it is young people who will be most affected by the decisions we make today. This is why it is essential that we empower them so they can spread the message that tackling climate change is urgent, but that by working together we can make a difference.

"It is fantastic that so many young people feel passionately about the environment and climate change and want to bring about change in others. The winners of this competition will become young ambassadors, playing a high profile role in changing public opinion and behaviour.

"Last year's champions did a wonderful job. Now we ask for new champions to come forward, enter our competition and take up the climate change challenge."'

Applicants to the Climate Change Champions 07/08 competition can enter and gain more information via the http://www.climatechallenge.gov.uk website.
