Self-introduction by Uki

Hi, I am Uki learning environmental governance at United Nations University. I will attend COP19 held in Warsaw this year. My interest is how the states and other stakeholders, especially scientific communities, communicate to each other to form the agreement in the negotiation. I hope we can stimulate your interests while telling you what is going on in the climate negotiations from Warsaw.

Self-introduction by Monika

Hi everyone!

My name is Monika Aleksandra Ostrowska, but I prefer to be called just Monika. I come from Poland and have been living in Japan for over 8 years. Everyone in Japan always asks me why have I chosen to come to their country. The answer is really simple: I wanted to experience Japanese culture and learn the language, and when an opportunity to do so appeared, it seemed like a great adventure to do it. I am a PhD student now, studying about climate change, media and about how and why politicians pay attention to environmental issues. In my free time I like reading fantasy and science fiction novels, being outdoors, drawing, gardening and talking to people. It is a very interesting project Climate Youth Japan is doing, and I am very grateful to be a part of it.  I hope that our messages from COP19 will be valueable for people that read this blog.

Hello!

I would like to introduce myself.

My name is Rio AKIBA. I am a member of Climate Youth Japan which is youth group in Japan. I study at Yokohama City University. I major in environmental policy, especially environmental education. Through COP19 I would like to exchange own idea with many people and after COP19 I will share own experience with youth members in Japan because I think that we should know present condition of climate change and think the solution by ourselves.  So I want to make the trigger to take action.
