Worldwid views on global warming
26 September, 2009 - 30 November, 1999

- Worldwide Description: On September 26, 2009, World Wide Views on Global Warming (WWViews) will give citizens all over the world a possibility to define and communicate their positions on issues and questions central to the negotiations at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen, starting two months later.
Decisions made at COP15 will shape the global climate policy for years to come. Furthermore, citizens of the world have to live with global warming and this future climate policy, which is why they should be consulted before political decision-makers negotiate at the COP15. In their Letter of Support, The United Nations Development Program says that "... citizens, businesses, and non-governmental organizations need to engage in identifying and implementing the right solutions. World Wide Views can help bring that change about." And this is what WWViews will do: engage citizens and bring forward their views through citizen consultations in 46 countries all over the world. During these consultations citizens will deliberate and vote on some of the questions negotiated at the COP15. Event type:
