DML is one among other 62 countries designated as a national partner of the WWViews project which aims to develop a participative methodology that allows citizens all over the world to contribute to the United Nations climate summit COP15 in Copenhagen, in November/December 2009. COP 15 is expected to determine the next steps in the Kyoto process. The main purpose of WWViews is to give citizens around the world a chance to influence the negotiations at the climate summit and therefore the future global climate policy. Hence citizens will join the process of identifying targets and formulating policies that constitute the future way of dealing with climate change.
A few weeks ahead to the COP 15 parallel national citizen participation activities – approximately 100 citizens will take part per nation – will be conducted within 24 hours all over the world. These activities and the produced results will be mediated through a public web tool. It shall also serve as a national information source for the media, for official delegations to COP 15 and decision makers as well as for the public. The overarching purpose of the project is to achieve that citizens form different parts of the world can become a relevant part of political decision-making processes on a global scale.
The project was initiated by the Danish Board of Technology (DBT) and the Danish Cultural Institute and is organised as a as a WWViews Alliance of different kinds of partners who contribute with different kinds of expertise.
