ON WORLD METEOROLOGICAL DAY, UN RALLIES YOUTH TO TAKE ON CLIMATE CHANGE
New York, Mar 23 2014 5:00PM
Seeking to increase awareness among young people about climate change
and mobilize them as champions for action, the United Nations is
marking this year's World Meteorological Day with a call for more
young people -- especially women -- to become meteorologists, a
profession which makes a vital contribution to the safety and
well-being of society.

"Weather and Climate: Engaging Youth" is this year's theme for the
Day, and the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) noted that
today's youth will benefit from the dramatic advances being made in
the ability to understand and forecast the Earth's weather and
climate. Most will live into the second half of this century and
experience the increasing impacts of climate change.

"Atmosphere and ocean temperatures continue to increase, ice caps and
glaciers around the world are steadily declining, sea level is rising
and a number of extreme weather and climate events are becoming more
frequent and/or more intense," said WMO Secretary-General Michel
Jarraud.

"Maintaining our current dependence on fossil fuels will lead us to a
significantly warmer planet: by the end of the century the temperature
could be up to 4 degrees Celsius higher than in pre-industrial times.
Limiting the warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius can still be
achieved, but it will require a rapid significant reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions."

"Achieving this objective demands urgent, decisive and courageous
action. The world's youth can be a powerful actor of change in this
regard. Climate action is not just about CO2 emissions, it is about
people, about the values we share and what each of us is ready to do
to promote them. Young people are a source of innovation and of fresh
insights into problems and their possible solutions. They call for
just, equitable solutions," said Mr. Jarraud.

"While the challenges facing the next generations are enormous, the
opportunities for addressing them have never been greater," he said.

In order to help increase understanding of weather and climate, WMO
revamped its Youth Corner ahead of World Meteorological Day. It is
available in English, French, Chinese and Spanish, and is being
translated into Arabic and Russian. WMO has also updated its book "A
Career in Meteorology" to encourage more young people to enter into
this varied and challenging profession.

Ahmed Alhendawi, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Envoy on Youth,
said the focus on youth was timely. "Youth represent the majority of
populations in many countries around the world and have an
increasingly strong social and environment awareness and they have the
power to transform our societies to low carbon and climate resilient
future," he said in a video message.

"We need to strengthen formal and informal education about climate
change, promote sustainability and support youth to become
environmental champions in their own communities. We must ensure that
youth are ready to join the emerging green economies around the world.
Let's remember there is always a Plan B, but there is no Planet B."
