On the opening day of the Copenhagen summit, TckTckTck – an unprecedented alliance of civil society organisations –delived its petition which more than 10 million people have signed, calling for world leaders to seal a fair, ambitious and binding climate deal at the talks.
15 young people from around the world held large scale “building blocks” which spell out “10 million people expect a fair, ambitious and binding deal” to show world leaders that all the elements required for an effective climate treaty are present.
