Solar Generation taking their future in their own hands
Solar
Solar Generation are young people all over the world who are taking action to address climate change and calling for a clean energy future.
The number of countries involved in Solar Generation is continuously growing. All around the world, we are showing that change is possible and you can make it happen!
Waiting quietly for politicians to act is not an option; Solar Generation are taking the future into our own hands.
Solar Generation raises public awareness about climate change while taking on solutions-based campaigns and projects, in order to move governments to act, now. It also engages decision makers at high-level political conferences and events to ensure that they do not become blind or deaf to the needs of the future generation.
Here are just a couple of examples of our achievements and activities:
• Convincing several universities in France, United States of America and Australia to start purchasing clean energy and installing solar panels
• Implementing energy efficiency measures in schools and universities in China, France and Southeast Asia
• Involved in over 160 solar panel installation projects in Switzerland
• Solar Generation member Abigail from the Philippines gave the opening speech at the Renewables 2004 Conference
• Celebrated the Kyoto Protocol entering into force with activities worldwide
• Solar Generation youth delegates lobbied government delegates for strong climate action during UN Climate Summits in Montreal (2005), Nairobi (2006), Bali (2007), Poznan (2008)
Solar
Generation raise public awareness about climate change and the
solutions and move politicians to act. Solar Generation organise solar
powered concerts and hand out information about our work at other
concerts.
We also install solar panels, support energy
efficiency and start discussions in our universities. We show that
action against climate change works: "While politicians are still talking, we are getting active!"
