Leading Green politicians from every corner of the globe
will be in Copenhagen. This event is the only time they are
speaking together on one stage, outlining their views on what
a meaningful climate agreement is and how it can be achieved.

With the outcome of the UN climate talks in Copenhagen held hostage to
the cap-n-trade policies of the US administration and the Majority's
Waxman-Markey bill to privatize the atmosphere; this public event aims
to give a Green perspective on how a meaningful and truly effective
global deal on climate change can be reached before it is too late.
