Write Your Way To COP22 In Morocco – An Amazing Opportunity! by getgreen: 9:08am On Sep 03, 2016
Climate Tracker is launching its new and exciting COP22 campaign. Join now for your chance to win a Fully Funded trip to COP22 to become a Negotiator Tracker.

COP22 is simply 22nd Conference of the Parties to the The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) entered into force in 1994, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.

Structure of the Campaign

The #TrackingCOP22 campaign will last until end of November and will have 2 broad publishing windows.

1st Publishing Window: Impacts Of Climate Change And The Guilt of the Fossil Fuel Industry

The first publishing window will last from the 29th of August to the 7th of October. Every two weeks you will be given a topic to write about, having to write at least one article on each topic to be eligible for the prizes. But you can write more than that if you want!

The topics will organise as following:

Week 1 and 2 (29 Aug-9Sep): Describe impacts of climate change in your country or region and why we need to keep temperature below 1.5 degrees
Week 3 and 4 (12-23 Sep): The fossil fuel industry banned from climate change negotiations, just as it was done with the Tobacco industry
Week 5 and 6 (26 Sep-7 Oct): We need to keep the fossil fuel and tobacco industries accountable and make them pay for their damag
Prizes include paid writing fellowships with Climate Tracker to help you publish and become an awesome writer, and also spots to join our team in COP22 in Marrakech.

Second Publishing Window

The second publishing window will last from the 17th October to the 27th November and will follow the same structure as the previous one. Every two weeks you will be given a topic to write about, having to write at least one article on each topic to be eligible for the prizes.

Prizes include online writing fellowships in COP22 and spots for the first online Climate Tracker school in 2017.

To join the campaign, you only have to sign in to http://app.climatetracker.org/ and join the competition named “Become a Negotiator Tracker at COP22”.

Here you have an amazing toolkit they have especially prepared for you on this first topic. You will also find all details and FAQs in their website here.

When you finish and publish the article, send them the link through here: http://app.climatetracker.org/ and they will give you feedback to help you improve as a writer!
