Copenhagen climate summit: Should we cheer them on, block them in, or shut them down?

January 2009

9 February 2009 (All day)

Speaker(s)

Kevin Smith, Mel Evans

DATE: Monday 9th February, 7pm
VENUE: 22 Betterton Street, London WC2 (through the blue door and upstairs)

The UN talks in Copenhagen this December are supposed to be the place where world leaders agree a new international deal to stop climate change. But progress so far has been undermined by corporate lobbying and false, market-based solutions. When activists from across Europe hit the streets of Copenhagen, should we be calling on governments to do better, blockading them in until they come up with a good deal, or be saying they are so flawed we should try to close them down?
