Cool It! Countdown to Copenhagen

As the days tick by, the world’s climate nears a critical turning point. This December in Copenhagen, Denmark officials from almost 200 countries will attend the UN Climate Change Conference to negotiate an international treaty as we enter into the next phase of the Kyoto Protocol in 2012.

This conference has the potential to set global emission standards, provide adaptation funding to developing countries, and support green technologies – but only if global leaders take responsibility for their country’s contributions to climate change.

We know climate change is happening, but why is it important? Link TV’s new series Climate Change Hits Home brings the issue to the kitchen table, showing with weekly stories that the impact of climate change is not a foreign subject. Browse these pages for facts, videos, and action ideas –and understand why the world is watching the Countdown to Copenhagen.
