About me
A native of Toronto, Ontario, P.J. Partington is passionate about engaging youth in issues of domestic and international climate policy. After receiving his BSc in Environmental Policy at the London School of Economics at the age of 20, P.J. became a founding member of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition. Serving as its Policy Co-ordinator he has helped organise two highly-successful Canadian Youth Delegations to the UN climate change negotiations in Nairobi (COP-12 / CMP-2) and Bali (COP13 / CMP-4), as well as smaller teams to talks in Bonn and New York. As Climate Change Programs Manager at TakingITGlobal he is now working to organise this year's Canadian Youth Delegation to Poznan. This spring, PJ managed a global e-consultation on Climate Change and Youth Action for the OECD and recently spoke at their international conference on Competitive Cities and Climate Change in Milan.

PJ is also a volunteer presenter with the Climate Project and a director of the Climate Action Network Canada and the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition. He is also terribly fond of canoes and often wishes he could grow vegetables.
