COP24: Climate Justice Press Conferences
The revolution will not be televised… but our press conferences are webcast
At the U.N. climate change negotiations the governments do a lot of talking. Civil society organisations, however, are reduced to a few moments of intervention.
So another crucial channel they use to explain to the wider world what is going on in the talks, or to promote new joint initiatives, is through holding press conferences. Below is a list, with links to on-demand webcasts of some of the collective Demand Climate Justice press conferences. Many groups of course also carried out events not listed of their own initiative.
