Join the Youth Caucus to start the CSD off right

Youth climate leaders from around the world will converge on the Youth Energy Blast on April 29, 2007 at Columbia University in New York with the mission of sharing their skills and preparing for the 15th Session UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD-15).
