The 2nd round of “Th!nk about it” has just been launched. The topic of the EJC blogging competition this time: Climate change. So if you interested in the topic and you would like to blog about it do apply as soon as possible! From my previous experience in the first round of “Th!nk about it” on the EP elections I can assure you that it will be a lot of fun! Apart from the usual gadgets there is also the possibility to win a trip to the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December and (presumably) blog about it!
The focus this time is much broader and goes beyond Europe, however, from a European perspective it would be very interesting to have someone covering EU climate change policy and looking at how the EU approaches the COP 15 negotiations in Copenhagen…
TH!NK2 Climate Change is a 3 month blogging competition with a focus on UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP15) in December 2009. 81 bloggers from Europe with featured guests from India, China Brazil and the USA, representing the world’s biggest players in climate policy, will come together on the European Journalism Centre‘s thinkaboutit.eu platform, to exchange ideas and debate the issues of climate change.
Participants are encouraged to report about stories in their own back yards; to bring out the local side of a global issue. The aim is to create a portal into the minds of 81 people, to show how each one experiences the effects of Climate Change policies every day.
