Day 1: Monday, December 7
Nick provides a brief and clear overview of what’s at stake — from a scientific and social justice perspective — in efforts to yield a solution to global climate change. Check it out here.
We’re already making news in Copenhagen. Friends of the Earth and other groups called out the Danish government for acting in a biased, manipulative and nontransparent manner as it presides over the UN climate conference. Danish leaders are holding secret meetings that exclude representatives from developing countries — and then ignoring their demands!
In this picture from last night, Bund (the Friends of the Earth group in Germany) uses a “melting” mermaid ice sculpture to bring attention to the need for a just climate agreement, which must include ambitious and binding commitments by developed countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. World leaders: don’t sit back and let us melt away!
