On September 26, 2009, World Wide Views on Global Warming (WWViews) will give citizens all over the world an opportunity to define and communicate their positions on issues central to the negotiations at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen 2009.

The main objective is to give a broad sample of citizens from across the world the opportunity to influence the COP15 negotiations and thereby the future of global climate policy. The overarching purpose is to demonstrate that political decision-making processes on a global scale benefit when everyday people participate. WWViews will send vital messages about climate policy from citizens to decision-makers.

It will create awareness about the importance of climate policy globally, nationally, locally, and individually. And it will set a path-breaking precedent by demonstrating that ordinary people merit and can have a voice within global political processes.

UNEP-Tongji Institute of Environment for Sustainable Development (UNEP-IESD) is the national partner and organizes the project all over Mainland China. We will recruit about 100 citizens with different demographic character, who will eventually join us to discuss the global warming and related issues.

All citizens who care about the collective interest of mankind in mainland of China can apply.
