Jack Daw’s COP15: Reclaiming Power? Report of the 16th December climate justice protests

After writing such a cynical post about the ‘Don’t Buy the Lie’ anti-corporate protests on the 11th December I thought I’d give protests one more try at COP-15. I decided to go to the ‘Reclaim Power – pushing for climate justice’ protest as this is what everything was supposed to building up to. I went to action training and some planning meetings for the protest beforehand and the energy at the these meet-ups was ecstatic. We were cheering and howling and full of energy. We were determined to get in to the Bella center and have our voices heard.

Jack Daw’s COP15: Inspiring alternatives at COP-15 about food sovereignty and access to land

Instead of just being cynical in my reports, I also wanted to write about some of the inspiring alternatives at Copenhagen. For me, one of the most fundamental things we have to do is change how we grow, distribute and control food. Food is central to our lives and genuine alternatives to the current destructive system need to start with it. If we are faced with severe climate disasters or resource shortages in the future– such as oil – food shortages will be one of the first and biggest problems that we would face.

Jack Daw’s COP15: Our Climate, Not Your Business

After a group meeting in the morning we met at 10am at Nytorv for the anti-corporate ‘Don’t Buy the Lie’ protest. While we were milling around, not knowing what to do or where to go, some people went around handing out a map of corporate targets across the city. The plan was to go between the targets and for us to split into four groups: a noise brigade who’d make as much noise as possible, a visual group with banners and who’d do graffiti, an inside ruckus group who’d go inside targets and disrupt business and an outside ruckus group to hold the space outside of the targets.

Jack Daw’s COP15: Getting to Copenhagen, Indigenous Rights and a post oil Cuba?

After a sleepless but free nights travel to Copenhagen I ended up at Klimaforum in the DGI-BYEN complex. The people at the info point were useless, not wanting to help me find where the free accommodation was. They are part of a less radical faction of climate activists and don’t seem to want anything to do with those who are more radical even though they are supposed to be ”the alternative summit.” Corporate environmental propaganda and talks are some of what fills their programme. They just told me that one of the free places – Ragnhildsgade – had been raided by the police the night before! I ended up at Teglholmen, after asking many people, to find a large warehouse with pallets laid out to sleep on. It’s a well organised and collectively run space with a peoples kitchen to feed us and rotas for us all to volunteer for different responsibilities. They told me that they had been raided by the police a few days before, put everyone in handcuffs and held them in one room while they think the police bugged the place with microphones and cameras. The police repression feels like it could get worse here.

Vad är COP15?

COP15 är det 15:e mötet i FN:s klimatprocess för länderna som skrivit under ramkonventionen om klimatförändringar, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), vilket är nästan alla länder i världen. Representanter för UNFCCC-ländernas regeringar har mötts årligen i möten som kallas för Conference Of the Parties (COP) sedan processen startade 1994. COP15 pågår från den 7:e till den 18:e december 2009 i Bella Center i Köpenhamn. På mötet representeras cirka 190 av världens regeringar, industrilobbygrupper och NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations). Man räknar med upp till 10 000 deltagare på mötet. Det är en del av samma process som tog fram kyotoprotokollet på COP3 i Kyoto. Kyotoprotokollet går ut 2012 och syftet med COP15 är att förhandla fram ett nytt protokoll som ska gälla från 2012 till 2020.

Om COP15, tvågradersmålet och viljan att nå det
av Rickard Warlenius

Utsikten att ett klimatsäkert och rättvist avtal undertecknas i Köpenhamn i december 2009 måste betecknas som dyster. Jag förstår ärligt talat inte hur det skulle gå till att sy ihop en bra och långsiktig överenskommelse när det bara några månader innan mötet ännu råder så stora åsiktsskillnader mellan parterna.

Vi ses i Köpenhamn!
av Knut, Autonoma Rötter

Det finns en uppsjö organisationer och grupper som uppmanar oss att åka till Köpenhamn för att med våra demonstrationer och aktioner sätta press på ledarna så att de tar radikalare beslut. Med radikala menar man då stramare utsläppstak under det nya Kyotoprotokollet. Men om vi vill undvika katastrofal global uppvärmning måste vi se till att inte falla i den fällan.
