Copenhagen Climate Conference - Are we part of it?

2009-07-20T00:16:00.001+01:00

The most talked event in the last few weeks around climate change has been the forthcoming Copenhagen Climate Conference 7-18 December 2009. There are strong views in support of: the need for ambitious, just and binding agreements; the need to base decisions on best possible knowledge, latest technologies / science etc.; the need to help the poorest and most vulnerable countries that are threatened the most etc.

Although not anyone and everyone can participate and / or observe the proceedings but we all can influence the decision / agreements by keeping everyone participating well informed and by providing support from all around the globe. Some ways in which we could keep our voices heard:

1.) Seal the deal UN Global Campaign

- Support by signing the Climate Petition

- Have your Say or read what others said

2.) Youth Action

3.) 350.org An international campaign

4.) Tck Tck Tck... The time is ticking for climate justice

5.) YouTube UK, the Copenhagen Climate Meeting and BBC Question Time (Represent the UK at the conference if you are aged between14-17)

Let's hope that the words of Connie Hedeghaard (Minister for Climate and Energy, Denmark) "We must move the world from an era of talk to the era of change" would be realised, and that the fair, balanced and effective climate agreement (Objective of the UN Seal the deal campaign) would be the outcome of this well awaited conference.

Do feel free to comment if you found the above useful and obviously it would be great to have any posts with more ideas, information and updates on how we can all be part of that very important agreement.

Cheers
