What are you hoping COP15 will achieve?

If COP15 doesn't achieve a workable political framework for tackling climate change - and there's a big danger it won't - it's going to leave a lot of people very frustrated and angry. I hope that the discussion and passion generated around COP15 will prove as important - if not more - than anything the politicians may or may not achieve there.

Are you involved in an event that relates to COP15?

Yes

If your answer to the above is yes, what do you hope your audience will take from your event?

That it's no longer enough just to make art "about" climate change. Art has to be good art if it's going to achieve anything, and it has to exist within a framework of discussion about what happens next.

A belated happy new year to you. The Wave (London) was so inspiring. Looking forward to the next one. All differences put aside for the good of all.

Please could you check the message in my inbox from someone called lucy david? I'm not sure it's bona fide.

Thanks,
All the best
Jan

At 9:05pm on November 14, 2009, Yvonne Schellerup said…: I take it that means you will be in Copenhagen during COP-15. You should drop by the Tycho Brahe Planetarium on December 7th at 5:30 for the unveiling of the CO2 Cube. It will be a digital multi media light extravaganza. I think people are going to be amazed by this cube representing one metric tonne of CO2 all lit up in fantastic 3D imagery of effects including environmental, nature, science, Google Earth, You Tube... and the list goes on.

At 3:20pm on November 14, 2009, Edward Morris said…: Sorry I am late to the party. Still trying to see if I can gather the resources and time to come to Copenhagen. Wrote to wooloo. Hopefully that will pan out.

At 9:21am on November 13, 2009, Tom Corby said…: I'd love to Will, it's going to be difficult as it conincides with a number of deadlines. How are you getting over there and roughly what is it cosing you? I could try to get Westminster to fund me as an official rep.
