Countdown to Copenhagen : Climate Change

Climate change is one of the most important ecological imperatives facing the human population in our modern times. There is hardly any debate remaining among scientists these days regarding whether climate change exists or whether it is caused by human activities. Climate change threatens not just global average temperature, but it also can play a damaging role in all other aspects of ecosystem health, such as biological diversity and world food supply. We have identified the problem, now we must come up with a fair and sustainable solution.

This blog will focus around the United Nations climate change conference to be help in Copenhagen from December 7th to 18th 2009. During this conference, 192 countries including two of the largest polluters - the United States and China - will gather to discuss the problem and try to find solutions. These widely varied countries will be responsible for the onus task of hammering out an agreement that can satisfy all involved for the period following 2012.

The countdown to COP15 TIG blog aims to consolidate the many youth climate action blogs from around the world, while offering a forum for youth to get informed and get involved regarding this important issue.

El Klima Forum y a Flood is Coming!
En el COP 15 existen además eventos paralelos de sociedad civil que vale la pena visitar. El mas importante es el Klima Forum. Aquí, organizaciones de todo el mundo plantean propuestas y muestran su trabajo a el publico en general. Este espacio ha contado además con la participación de Vandana Shiva, y Naomi Klein. De este foro comenzarán las acciones y demostraciones de Friends Of the Earth International a las 10 de la mañana. Las principales peticiones son el “No offsetting” y no a las salidas falsas.
