We are delighted to invite you to this year’s launch of the Global Youth Video Competition on Climate Change 2017, which will take place today, 10 May 2017, at 12:30 to 13:15 in the Press Conference room Nairobi 4 of the Bonn Climate Change Conference in Bonn, Germany.

The objective of the Global Youth Video Competition is to highlight climate action being taken by youth through videos; providing them with a platform to identify their successes and inspire other youth and policy-makers.

The 2017 competition is co-organized by the UNFCCC secretariat and the UNDP-GEF Small Grants Programme. The competition will be implemented through the Television for Environment (tve) platform.

This year the competition will have two categories:

-Climate friendly and resilient cities

-Oceans and climate change.

The winners will receive the following prize:

-Round-trip travel to COP 23 in Bonn, Germany, November 2017;

-Assignment as a youth reporter during COP 23, responsible for assisting the UNFCCC Newsroom team with videos, articles and social media posts. Tve will also publish blogs each day on the tvebiomovies site biomovies.tve.org and include them in the overall marketing of the tvebiomovies films.

We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
