I work as the Climate Program Coordinator for SustainUS: US Youth for Sustainable Development. SustainUS is an internationally recognized player in the youth climate movement, sending a delegation of 27 young people to COP15. SustainUS has played a leading role in coordinating the larger US youth delegation. In my role as Climate Program Coordinator, I organized SustainUS's domestic climate campaign in the months before COP15 in coordination with the Energy Action Coalition's Powershift09. I also helped prepare the US youth delegation for our role in Copenhagen. I work with young people throughout the US and can serve as an "expert" on the involvement of US youth at COP15 and the US youth climate movement.
