With 202 debates, 70 exhibitions, 43 films, 16 concerts and 11 plays from all over the world, Klimaforum09 became the place where people could follow the COP15 process, find expert answers and discover alternative solutions. In addition to this a Peoples’ Declaration was written as a joint statement to be adopted by the participating organisations.
The openness offered by Klimaforum09 provided a much needed sense of democratic organization that brought people together and gave participants the opportunity to be part of something useful. Not a single door was closed and tens of thousands of committed people were let in and out.
Klimaforum09’s experience concerns the entire UN system and is about dialogue and openness. Popular involvement is about the opportunity to be heard and listened to. The alternative is failure to understand the severity of the crises that people everywhere are facing.
Klimaforum09’s basic experience, in particular regarding the importance of having a place where everyone is welcome, is fundamental for further work.
