The
opportunities for youth to be agents of change are increasing in number
dramatically, with the spreading use of mobile technology and pace of its
innovative applications. Twelve youth across nine countries – Canada, the US,
Brazil, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Italy, Belgium, and the UK – were convened by TakingITGlobal
on September 4th, 2012 to discuss some vibrant examples of recent mobile web
technologies that are facilitating social change, many of which are being
created or used by these same participants.
The youth climate movement was well-represented at this
Cisco-enabled teleconference, as these young leaders build upon the momentum of
Rio+20 and look ahead to the COP 18 Meeting in Doha.
