Climate Change on the GA

In August we will be discussing the issue of Climate Change on our General Assembly.  But should we be discussing this?  Is this the role of youth work to discuss this?
 Please give your comment on this statement:
 
"When I'm doing youth work I'm enjoying myself, so I don't need to deal with the worries of the world."
 
We are looking forward to hearing your reactions!

As a leader of a youth organization like Chiro, it is one of my responsibilities to form the leaders of our local groups. As a citizen and as a person, I believe that all of us need to look after our environment. Likewise, it is our responsibility as a leader to teach the children and youth of the importance of taking care of the earth by taking cake of the environment. In Chiro Philippines, we have several campaigns to help preserve the earth. We also encourage our members and leaders to participate in Earth Hour. Doing youth work does not only entail personal development of children but more so, being a responsible citizen and being God's helper in preserving nature.
Climate Change should be discussed in the General Assembly since all of us are affected by this situation. It is hoped that through this GA, the participants would have additional information that can be echoed to our local leaders.

It is of paramount importance to discuss "Climate Change" in the GA. according to Xaveri Uganda preservation of the environment is one of the core objectives. Climate change is a result of damaging the environment. The young people who are the majority, energetic, dynamic and resourceful, have all the reason to contribute to & for their destiny for the better. A preserved environment helps young people develop better because it gives the foundation to the other aspects of life. for example having adequate fresh breath, green playing fields, camping sites, wells & springs, nutritious land for agriculture & farming and less diseases. Sharing experiences in the GA will enable leaders acquire more knowledge on how to advocate/handle the situation in their respective countries.
