PAINT YOUR FEET and be heard and seen in Copenhagen – it’s YOUR FUTURE they are talking about – we need to remind the world of this – send us your foot art in thousands UPLOAD HERE!!
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
The world will meet in Copenhagen 7- 18th December for a big Climate Change Conference – they will be working towards a global agreement to help protect the world’s children from the impacts of catastrophic Climate Change. Everyone understands the importance of reaching an agreement for generations to come but there will be limited representation of children at the conference. If you can’t be there in person SEND YOUR FEET and be counted – we will be going to Copenhagen and will make sure that your feet and poetry are given to the UN delegations. The world leaders are concerned – show them you care too!
"Failure to reach broad agreement in Copenhagen would be morally inexcusable, economically short-sighted and politically unwise." United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
The floods in the Philippines should remind politicians and delegates negotiating the climate treaty that they are not just talking about paragraphs and dollars but about the lives of millions of people," says WWF.
There is no plan B...If we do not realise plan A, we go straight to plan F, which stands for failure, Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva
When historians look back on this critical moment, let them say, not that we were the generation that failed our children; but that we had the courage, and the will, to succeed."Gordon Brown - British Prime Minister.
