Engage 4 Climate: Meet the Citizens' Voice Team

Meet the Citizens' Voice Team

We are a team of volunteers from all around, joining together to help citizens everywhere connect with the important events in Paris during COP21. We are doing this because we care. Not because it’s our job.

We are looking to expand our team both in Paris and elsewhere around the world. Join us here!
