As a part of our contribution to a robust discussion at the COP15 climate negotitions in Copenhagen, the United Nations University has been working hard with partners to organize the Indigenous Voices on Climate Change film festival at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen (4pm-6pm, 9th-13th December,2009).

This summer I stared climate change in the face and finally came to understand how much it unites us like nothing else in history.

It seems this December’s COP15 meeting in Copenhagen has created an impressive surge of activism, especially through social media.

To most, the words COP15 and Copenhagen are sounding quite familiar these days. In millions of minds all over the world these terms are linked to the fact that we need to replace the Kyoto Protocol.

Over 2500 delegates from almost 80 countries participated in an international scientific congress entitled Climate Change: Global Risks, Challenges and Decisions last month in Denmark.
