Children in Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines are not waiting for the Copenhagen deal, they are already taking action to bring about commitment from their leaders and community members to address climate change
Through participatory video making, children developed videos to raised awareness of the present impact of climate change in their communities, and called for greater commitment by adults to come together and take action to meet the challenges they are already facing. The children's videos were screened in their communities and at municipal/provicial level - where local authorities were invited to take part in the screening sessions and challenged to listen to the children's ideas on how to address climate risks. In some cases, the children 's videos have already been successful in gaining the commitment from government bodies and other leaders to take action.
