What’s This?
The 15th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP15) took place in December 2009 and our delegation filmed as much of it as we could! Our team interviewed representatives of government, UN agencies, and civil society, business, and scientific organizations with the goal of helping YOU get an inside view of the conference!
