Children Artists Join Forces with the UN to Combat Climate Change--see some of the paintings for yourself

Young artists from around the world are lending their support to global efforts to combat climate change through Paint for the Planet, an exhibit and auction of children's art in New York.

Launched on October 7, 2008, the Paint for the Planet website features a selection of stand-out entries from nearly 200,000 paintings the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) International Children's Painting Competition received.
