As we rang in the New Year, the entry period for the Voices4Climate competitions came to a close. The entire team at Connect4Climate would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the participants who sent in compelling photos, videos, and music videos on climate change.
Some interesting things have been happening here at Connect4Climate. In just over one month, our Voices4Climate competition has received more than 500 climate change stories from 65 countries and counting. To connect with some local voices, we sat down for a chat about sustainability with a local D.C. band, The Funk Ark—check out the video above. And last but not least, C4C is working out the details of an exciting new partnership.
The panelists participating in the discussion on Harnessing Collective Intelligence for Climate Change are ready. The discussions, scheduled to take place live on May 1, 2012 at 10 am EST, will be broadcast via a livestream link. If you are unable to attend in person, head on over to our live stream page to follow the discussion. The panel, listed below, will take questions from a global audience via Twitter.

Every day, the world population generates enough waste to fill over fourteen large soccer stadiums from top to bottom, more than 3.5 million tonnes. Cittadinanzattiva’s first National Day –Cittadinanza in Festa – will be dedicated to inspiring innovative ways for solving the world’s waste challenge.
Making a video can take a bit of time, so we moved the iChange competition deadline to May 15, 2013! Read the rules and learn more about the prizes on the Facebook Application.
We have also created one pagers, presentations, and videos in mutliple languages, with a quick summary of all of the information you need to prepare your iChange entry. Select your language below--and get filming!
Please join World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, Sustainable Development Network Vice President Rachel Kyte, External Affairs Vice President Cyril Muller, Africa Vice President Makhtar Diop, the Global Environment Facility’s CEO and Chairperson Naoko Ishii, and the Italian Minister of the Environment Corrado Clini for an evening to celebrate youth engagement in creative climate action.
At this time last year, the C4C team was busily preparing to launch our first Connect4Climate competition aimed at engaging African youth on climate issues and challenging them to tell their personal climate stories through photos and videos. After receiving more than 700 submissions from every African country on the continent, we landed in Durban, South Africa to showcase and celebrate the winners at the UN Climate Change Conference/COP17 last November.
