The Local Government Climate LOUNGE LG advocacy at COP 15, 7 - 18 December, 2009 Copenhagen, Denmark - Bella Center
Monday 07 December 2009 - Category: International
The Local Government Climate LOUNGE is a meeting space located in the COP 15 building in Copenhagen, at the heart of the groundbreaking negotiations. Thus, LGs and their associations will have a unique advocacy base during UN Climate negotiations for dialogue and interaction with their national government, with other national governments, with other local governments, NGOs and the international press.
Participating local leaders will receive negotiation briefings, be invited to give web interviews and act as LG ambassadors in selected COP 15 side events, in the COP 15 plenary rooms and corridors. The Local Government Climate LOUNGE will thus provide local leaders with a chance for change and a strategic hub to carry out the most important advocacy work undertaken since Local Agenda 21 was introduced in the Rio Declaration in 1992.
LGs unable to send a representative to Copenhagen, can give valuable input to advocacy work at the LOUNGE by demonstrating activities through E-Posters and Local Action Cases.
