The Junior Commission is a specially adapted version of the Warwick Commission tailored for the IGGY community that allows a group of like-minded international young people to put forward answers to some of the most pressing problems facing the world today. The Junior Commission puts across new and challenging perspectives - those of young global citizens.
The 2011 Junior Commission will undertake a collaborative research project on the theme of "Global Energy 2025: Challenging Tomorrow's Leaders". The dual issues of climate change and depleting stocks of fossil fuels represent a ticking time-bomb for developed and developing countries alike, the simple fact is that we cannot continue to generate and use energy in the same way that the current generation have grown accustomed to. The task for this year's Junior Commission is to consider how our behaviour towards energy use will need to be modified, and how that might be achieved.
