Fill in the questionnaire

“fill in the questionnaire”

WAGGGS is on the road to rio+20 via the UNFCCC Climate Change Conference COP17 in Durban. To ensure the voice of girls and young women is heard in the negotiations on climate change and sustainable development, we launched the ‘we can save our planet’ campaign. ‘We can save our planet’ pulls together community action on the ground, delivering our demands to decision-makers at all levels, global youth consultations to inform the youth delegations at both UN events and worldwide mobilization for awareness raising on environmental sustainability.

The first round of consultation (pre-COP17) has been launched on www.surveymonkey.com/s/wecansaveourplanetI would like to ask you to fill in the questionnaire (it takes only 8½ minutes) and disseminate it widely through your networks. The survey is in three languages – English, French and Spanish – and aimed at girls and boys, women and men of all ages around the world. The deadline is 31 October 2011.

Aside from the questionnaire the ‘we can save our planet’ campaign tools also include:

·       The non-formal educational action booklet

·       A set of demands that our members deliver to decision-makers at all levels

        ·       Our campaign website www.worldthinkingday.org with an action counter – we want to reach 201.200 actions worldwide                     by the end of rio+20 (launched in the coming days)

       ·        Case studies and best practise on community action to inspire others

       ·        A second consultation at the beginning of 2012 that is aimed specifically at children

       ·        Online and offline outreach tools for joint awareness raising on special action days

It would be great to hear your thoughts about the campaign and explore potential ways of further cooperation.
