Copenhagen are you aware of what is happening? |
The COP15 conference is the fifteenth Conference of the Parties under the United Nations’ Climate Change Convention. The conference will take place from 7 December to 18 December 2009.
COP15 is the culmination of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process, and it is supposed to produce a binding global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by enough to prevent 'dangerous anthropogenic interference' in the climate. The purpose of the COP15 is to finalise the successor to the Kyoto Treaty. If the new deal is not as strong as the science demands ie massive cuts in global emissions starting very soon - then it will be nothing short of a suicide pact. If you have not seen the Age of Stupid movie, please do go along and see it at your local screening or if not, organise a local screening to be held near you. Drop by and find out where the next screening of the Age of Stupid will be held. Don't forget to contact your local MP on supporting COP15 and asking what they are doing to ensure that agreements will be agreed upon. In addition to enable the meeting not to be greenwashed by large multinationals who are seeking to save the world by carbon storage and off setting. |
