How Old Will You Be In 2050?

How Old Will You Be In 2050?

“How Old Will You Be In 2050?” is one of the many efforts of the Writing Club promoting climate change awareness through writing. Adapted from the campaign held by the youth delegations at the COP 15 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009, this campaign will involve the whole school in environmental and writing related activities.

What’s up with 2050?

Climate change is a global phenomenon that will have catastrophic consequences to the earth. Scientists have predicted that it is in the year 2050 that climate change will take its toll on mankind. In all of the UN Conferences for Climate Change, world leaders, who probably won’t be alive in 2050, play the biggest role in deciding the fate of the earth’s future.

Youths from around the world gathered in Copenhagen to ask the whole world this question. This simple question serves as a reminder to the world leaders of who will still be around when Global Warming hits its worst point. It will be the youth, not the adults, that will still be around in 2050 and that they have left their futures to the world leaders.
