About
The
i speak earth initiative is a momentous eleventh-hour effort to mobilize the strongest possible public mandate for an ambitious and binding agreement at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP15, in Copenhagen this December. By launching the
i speak earth initiative, the Copenhagen Climate Council, in partnership with Porter Novelli, is encouraging citizens worldwide to take action against climate change and to share the call for action with family and friends through social media.
i speak earth is a simple declaration that reflects a serious concern for the future of the planet.
By sharing the
i speak earth video and critical messages about the risks of an unstable climate,
the voice of the global online democracy has the power to reach worldwide political and business leaders.
Whether through signing the PlanetCall Declaration, Facebook status updates, tweets, emails and/or instant messages,
global citizens can ensure that negotiations in Copenhagen reflect a new beginning in Copenhagen reflect a
new beginning in the effort to protect a habitable planet.
COP15 has been called the most important meeting of the century, and is, in fact, of great global significance as it will define the role of governments and businesses worldwide in guiding the economy onto a sustainable path. The complexity of global climate policy often leaves people confused and disengaged; however,
i speak earth has the power to unite citizens worldwide and help them influence the change they seek.
Special thanks to actress and environmental advocate Cate Blanchett for supporting and lending a voice to
i speak earth.
The Copenhagen Climate Council
The Copenhagen Climate Council is a global collaboration between international business and science founded by the leading independent
think tank in Scandinavia, Monday Morning, based in Copenhagen. The members of the Copenhagen Climate Council have came together to create
global awareness of the importance of the U.N. Climate Change Conference, in Copenhagen, in December 2009, and to ensure support and
assistance to global decision makers when agreeing on a new climate treaty.
The Copenhagen Climate Council comprises 30 global leaders, active in business, science, and public policy. Leading up to the U.N. meeting,
in December 2009, the Council has worked on presenting innovative yet achievable solutions to climate change, as well as assessing what is
required to make a new global treaty effective. The Council seeks to promote constructive dialogue between government and business, so that
when the world's political leaders and negotiators meet in Copenhagen, they will do so armed with the very best arguments for establishing a
treaty that can be supported by global business. By promoting and demonstrating innovative, positive, and meaningful business leadership and
ideas, the Copenhagen Climate Council aims to demonstrate that achieving an effective global climate treaty is not only possible, but necessary.
