COP16    NEW LIFE CANCUN

During the UNFCCC COP15 in December 2009, the hospitality project NEW LIFE COPENHAGEN by wooloo.org was able to find free accommodations for over 3.000 climate activists from all over the world at Danish homes.

The climate circus is moving to Cancun / Mexcio this year, where the 16. conference of parties of the  United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP16) will take place from November 29th to December 10th 2010.

For a those who are planning to go to Cancun and participate in the climate conference and all the activities around, NEW LIFE CANCUN could be an option to find free or affordable accommodation and to get in contact with local families and residents.

 The NEW LIFE CANCUN project is part of the participation initiative CARBONDING which is facilitating accommodations and promoting activities and events for the civil society in and around Cancun.

Klimaforum Denmark is contributing to an info stand organised by the Grassroots Network for Sustainable Transition Denmark (GNBO). GNBO is a new network that covers most of the organisations that stood behind the People's Climate Summit during COP15.

Aim of the info stand is to promote local grassroots organisations and to start a dialogue about solutions to the climate crisis with the festival participants. You can find our info stand at the Green Market at City Centre East at the camping area.

We try to involve people in different activities under the title "Klimavisoner - Climate Visions".

  • You are able to tell your “Climate Vision” to the cameras of KlimaTV and they will post it at ditklimatv.dk.
  • Mother earth is inviting you to chat about your contributions to improve her well being.
  • Play your part in the Game for Climate Justice, try to negotiate a just and sustainable climate agreement in three years and choose policies from the perspective of the countries from the global north or south. Can you deal with the peak-oil, fake experts and false technological solutions?
  • Get an overview about the diversity of grassroots organisations in Denmark who work for a just and sustainable transition. You think this challenge is worth to spend some time? Get in contact with the organisations and support their work!
