World Wide Views on Global Warming: A global citizen consultation on climate policy
On September 26, 2009, World Wide Views on Global Warming (WWViews) will give citizens all over the world a possibility to define and communicate their positions on issues and questions central to the negotiations at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen, starting two months later.
Decisions made at COP15 will shape the global climate policy for years to come. Furthermore, citizens of the world have to live with global warming and this future climate policy, which is why they should be consulted before political decision-makers negotiate at the COP15.
In their Letter of Support, The United Nations Development Program says that "... citizens, businesses, and non-governmental organizations need to engage in identifying and implementing the right solutions. World Wide Views can help bring that change about." Â
And this is what WWViews will do: engage citizens and bring forward their views through citizen consultations in 38 countries all over the world. During these consultations citizens will deliberate and vote on some of the questions negotiated at the COP15.
Send a global message
We encourage national and international press along with other interested parties to follow World Wide Views on Global Warming, to report the process, and to make citizens' views on future climate policy known to political decision-makers anywhere on the globe.
