An estimated 100,000 people took to the streets of Copenhagen on Saturday and
marched from Christiansborg Slotsplads to Bella Center – a distance of six
kilometers – demanding climate justice. In one of the strongest messages ever
sent to world leaders to be serious and make a ‘real deal’ in the negotiations
going on at United Nations Climate Change
Conference (COP15), people from different countries marched in the cold
winter weather of Copenhagen.
The day started early for activists when they gathered at the DGI-Byen – the
venue of the alternate climate summit Klimaforum09 – in the morning and marched to
the Parliament Square, most of them clad in blue, in the symbolic event Flood for Climate Justice, organized
by the Friends of the Earth International. At
the Parliament Square, they were joined by thousands of people, who started a
march in the afternoon to Bella Center, the venue of COP15.
Even though pleasant rays of sunlight provided some warmth for the
demonstrators in the afternoon, as the dusk settled, the temperature dropped
down. As the demonstration ended in front of Bella Center, people were seen
huddled near bonfires lit on the street. The final inspirational speeches were
given by significant figures including former UN human rights commissioner, Mary
Robinson and the 21-year-old climate change activist from India, Deepa Gupta who
is the co-founder of Indian Youth Climate Network
(IYCN).
“This global day of action is reminding governments that climate change is
hurting people. This is a human rights issue – climate change is undermining
people’s livelihoods and their access to health and education. It is affecting
poor countries efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals. Copenhagen
must deliver deep emissions reductions, and at least $200bn a year in new money
to help the poorest countries tackle climate change,” Robinson said.
I am here in Copenhagen to attend the Klimaforum09, dubbed as ‘The
Peoples’ Climate Summit'. It runs parallel to COP15 and has attracted a number
of civil society organizations, environmental justice activists and indigenous
people. “The Bella Center is the biggest case of disaster capitalism. The deal
we really need is not even on the table,” Naomi Klein said in the opening
ceremony of Klimaforum09.
Other high profile visitors expected to speak at Klimaforum09 includes Bill
McKibben, the founder of 350.org, and Mohamed
Nasheed, the President of the Maldives.
Ecological debt and climate justice are recurring themes in Klimaforum09 and
in Saturday’s demonstration as well.
One of the most colourful groups participating in the demonstration was The Climate Debt Agents clad in bright
red suits. They called on rich countries to pay their climate debt to poor
countries as part of an MS ActionAid Denmark
initiative. Earlier this year, 31 Global Voices bloggers were mentors
to students participating in MS ActionAid's Global Change programme. It was a
pleasant surprise to meet my mentee among the red suits calling for climate debt
to be settled.
Across the globe, citizens of the world demanded a fair and real deal to be
made from the COP15 talks, as they held vigils and marches to mark the weekend
of ‘The World Wants a Real Deal’
initiated by the TckTckTck alliance.
Copenhagen is flooded with activists, journalists, photographers and bloggers
covering the most important climate change negotiations of recent times. At the
Fresh Air Center in downtown, a work
environment created by a TckTckTck alliance
for bloggers, I met fellow Global Voices author Mac-Jordan
Holdbrookes-Degadjor. The Global Voices authors in Copenhagen during this
exciting time will try to form
a small team covering the lively conversations occurring in blogosphere on
COP15.
