[IMC-UK-Features] (feature thingie)The Copenhagen COP15 Climate Summit

[Erik]

This is a proposal to make this a feature thingie so that you can check 
your submissions to belonging to this major future event:
--------------------------------------
The UN Climate Conference of Parties number 15 is set to take place in 
Copenhagen on the 30th of November 2009. The summit will be the biggest 
climate summit ever to have taken place. More than 12.000 delegates 
businessleaders, politicians, diplomats and lobbyists is going to be 
discussing an international treaty to take over the failed Kyoto 
Protocol. Set to end in 2012 this treaty was supposed to reduce the 
human carbon emmisions by 6%. However according to UN itself the global 
carbon emmisions have so far risen by 4% instead. There is no indication 
that the COP15 summit will come up with anything real to fight climate 
change.

However tens of thousands activists and protesters will be making their 
way to Copenhagen for this major event. in september people from more 
than 23 countries met in Copenhagen and agreed on a Call to Action. 
Calling for people to start mobilizing and carry out actions locally as 
well as comming to copenhagen for mass actions. Planning for this event 
have already begun.

Another international planning meeting of will take place in march where 
the action concepts will be formed out. A climate camp will take place 
on the 11-19th of July. Also a mass action will shut down a danish 
powerplants in the months before the summit. The world leaders may 
converge opun copenhagen but they wont leave untill they felt the power 
of the people who will be hurt by climate change
