2009 - The Explosion of the Climate Change Movement

Music: Open Road Kisses by The Small Affairs.

In 2009, millions of people came together around the world to pressure leaders to sign a legally binding and ambitious deal in Copenhagen. Although the final result in Copenhagen was a failure, 2009 was the year that the climate movement exploded. This movement will continue to build in energy and numbers until sustainability is achieved. This multimedia piece is a collection of images by Robert van Waarden taken during 2009 when he focused on the climate movement growth around the world.

Thanks for reminding us of all that we achieved in 2009, despite the political failures. It is a timely reminder of all that we can achieve together, and is great re-inspiration for our movement's work going forward into 2010 and beyond. Well done.
