Public campaign in Ukraine “Climate is changing. Time to Act!”
A group of 10 Ukrainian environmental NGOs is organizing Climate Change Tour through the cities of Ukraine: “Climate is changing. Time to act!” during 5-19th October 2007
During Climate tour in each of participating city we plan to install climate exhibition in the central part of the city. The exhibition will contain photo and information on climate change science, global and local impacts, main sources of pollution, solutions in different sectors of economy, antinuclear information and environmental public movement.
With climate change exhibition we plan to attract attention of both general public and local media, initiating TV and radio programs. We also will start collection of signatures on postcards with requests to local authorities in each city. Local organizations will also arrange show of movies on climate change for local high schools before and after climate tour.
Apart from public work we aim to have meetings with local authorities: raise climate change issue, call for actions of local authorities on emission reductions and inform about opportunities on flexible mechanisms of Kyoto Protocol. We believe it will initiate inclusion of climate change issue into decision making on the regional level, development of instructions and seminars for local authorities on how to set up regional climate change mitigation plans by Ukrainian Ministry of environmental protection and initiate regional seminars on Joint Implementation mechanism. Local organizations will continue this lobbying work afterwards.
The climate tour is supported by Swedish NGO Secretariat on Acid Rain and British Council in Ukraine.
Climate tour will take place in:
Ø Dniprodzerzhinsk 5-6 October
Ø Dnipropetrovsk 7-8 October
Ø Marganets 9 October
