The ITS forum is yours. It is a resource bank and discussion space for you to talk about the issues we all care about relating to climate change; to share your knowledge, opinions and resources; to get to know each other; and to prepare for your working group challenge.
Start a discussion. Ask a question. Post a comment. Share a link to something that moved you… There are over 130 emerging leaders with a passion for sustainable development attending the ITS and we can all learn from each other, so why not start now?

Why use it?
The six days of training in Indonesia will be challenging and so any preparation you do will help you maximise your ITS experience. Reading and talking about the thematic issues through the forum will help you feel informed and better briefed on your working group task, and virtual networking will make it easier for your working group to form a highly effective team when you meet face-to-face.
This forum will be available during and after the ITS, so it will be an archive for resources and ideas that you can continue to add to and explore as your knowledge and interest continues to grow.
