Josee Madeia's picture

Josée Madéia took to the trees at a young age and has been interested in political and democratic institutions since schoolhood. The youth environmental movement has been her home and field of study--she recently completed her M.A. in political sociology--and she's worked with youth, feminist and environmental NGOs and on local enviro-projects in Ottawa and Halifax. She's now a member of the Canadian Youth Delegation getting ready for the 15th Conference of the Parties, the climate talks, in Copenhagen this December.

Getting to København

| December 3, 2009

Arrived in Copenhagen today after a few long sleepless flights spent catching up on climate policy reports, Canadian Youth Delegation (CYD) documents, UNFCCC guidelines and news articles.

Sitting in the communal space of the now CYD hostel, surrounded by about a dozen others, organizing, writing, typing, scheduling, talking to media back home, calling John Baird's office in support of the sit-in happening there now. A flurry of jet lagged activity.

Updates with actual content will be forthcoming once I've gotten some sleep.

Tomorrow will be about a mad dash to the Bella Centre to get our badges before the rush, try to rent a bicycle, action training and prep work for COY -- the Conference of Youth, which kicks off on saturday.
