2. Bringing Fun Back into Education  Objective: lowering the barriers to youth engagement in climate policy  Creating easy and fun-to-read guides to climate & environmental policy documents e.g Peeling Back the COP  Putting climate & environmental policy into the context of young people  Creating interest in young people to learn & contribute to climate policy governance

3. Leveraging on technology & youth movements  Youth movements have become a formidable means of engagement for young people  Communications tools are accessible to scores of young people, e.g social media, mailing lists & blogs  Youth networks are the preferred way for youth in the climate movement to consolidate their efforts  We have leveraged on them to crowd source services, such as translation & distribution of the Peeling Back the COP Booklet  Using engaging blog posts and social media to engage more young people in climate policy

4. Success Stories  The COP PocketBook is being used to prepare young people in African Youth Initiative on Climate Change – Kenya for climate policy engagement, especially with regards to National Climate Change Response Strategy, Kenya Climate Change Action Plan, Climate Change Bill & contributing to Kenya’s position paper for UNFCCC COP19  Challenge to Change organization in Vietnam is using COP PocketBook to teach youth on need for engaging in climate policy  A climate journalist in DR Congo, working for Info-Environment, is teaching young people how to effectively engage in climate & environmental governance at the grassroots  More translations in native and local languages being worked on currently, e.g Lingala in DR Congo & Nahuati in Mexico

5. What Next?  A Youth Guide to the Green Economy is being worked on currently  Tracking climate policies in Kenya from the county level to the international level in real-time  Getting more young people to research & write about climate change issues and policies, mostly through blog posts and articles  Creating and developing incentivised volunteering in order to encourage more young people to get involved with climate change education
