The Norwegian Children and Youth Council (LNU) demands a better railway in Norway, and we also demand that the politicians make a plan for building express trains by the end of 2008. Our 72 members organizations have stated that we have to cut our emissions of green house gases, and that the government has to provide a better public transport system, and find ways to cut the emissions from the transport sector. The rich countries in the north are contributing the most to the global warming, but the countries in the developing world are the ones who will suffer the most from the consequences.

This summer LNU will raise the awareness of climate change in our member organizations by giving lectures and showing videos made of youth from Kenya, Colombia and South Africa. You can have a look at the videos here;

In addition to this, we will bring our climate train all over Norway, and take pictures of all the youngsters who demand express trains in Norway. In September, there will be an exhibition outside the parliament, with all the pictures from the campaign, to show our Minister of Transport and Communications, that she has to take the role as the climate conductor!
