Join the contest: Water, Climate and...Action!

On the occasion of the 16th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (COP16), the United Nations World Water Assessment Programme and TheWaterChannel.tv, with the support of the Mexican National Water Commission (CONAGUA) and the Mexican Consejo Consultative del Agua, A.C., invite you to share your experience and your messages about climate change and its impacts on water and on your life.

Tell us your story with a max 3-minute video! Show us what climate change means to YOU and your community and tell us how you deal with it!

Entries, in the form of short videos or animations in English, French, or Spanish, will be accepted from 22 September to 15 November 2010.

Of the 10 best films chosen by the Organizational Committee, an international jury will select the three best entries.

Selected films will be projected during a side-event on water and climate change at the COP16, webcasted real-time in 120 locations around the world thanks to the Global Development Learning Network, and used as supporting material to convey the message to policy and decision makers that we must act now to adapt to the effects of climate change!

No fees will be charged at any stage of the contest.
