A view from Copenhagen

by Sunniva Taylor 17th December 2009

A cacophony of colour, music and chanting flooded the streets of Copenhagen on Saturday 12 December as 100,000 activists marched to the city’s Bella Centre, where the UN Climate Change Summit is taking place. I travelled to Copenhagen with over a hundred other Christian Aid supporters from the UK. We marched as part of the ‘Countdown to Copenhagen’ campaign: a worldwide movement of development agencies calling for climate justice.
