CLIMATE CHAMPIONS 2010  

Following the success of the 2008 and 2009 Champions, six teenagers from all around Wales have been chosen as Climate Change Champions for Wales 2010.
Six young people stood out from the crowd though, and have been named as Climate Change Champions for Wales by the Welsh Assembly Government.  If you want to know more about the Climate Champions and what they're doing over the next year log on to http://wales.gov.uk/walescarbonfootprint/home/?lang=en as well as calculate your carbon footprint or EMail any of your ideas to the Welsh Assembly Government!

They are:

Nathan Sutcliffe, 16, from Dolgellau, Huda Zahid, 17, from Bangor,
Sebastian Giraud, 14, from Porthmadog, Rose Stevens, 15, from Barry,
Cyril Nqaba Moyo, 18, from Brecon and Jenni Derrick, 15, from Port
Talbot, take up the prestigious roles following a nationwide search for
young people passionate enough about the environment to become
Climate Change Champions.  

To win the competition, the green teens impressed the judges with their views on the COP15 UN Climate
Change Conference in Copenhagen and their plans for an ongoing community-based carbonsaving
project.
Their busy schedule for 2010 will include taking part in a wide range of eco-friendly projects, participating
in WAG’s Climate Change Commission and meeting politicians and environmental experts.
They will also organise events in schools and community groups across Wales to highlight the positive
steps people can take to ‘go green.’ To make sure the voice of young people can be heard at a high
level, they will ask young people in Wales their opinions on the topics considered by the Commission.
