How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

2 October 2009 | Ainhoa Goma

Today the TckTckTck, an unprecedented global alliance of civil society organizations, trade unions, faith groups and individuals, is launching a global musical petition for a climate deal in Copenhagen in December.

The re-mix of the song "Beds are Burning" features over 60 artists and celebrities, and has been re-written by Midnight Oil themselves to reflect the greatest humanitarian crisis facing humankind today.

People matter

12 June 2009 | Judith Orland

The usually sleepy climate negotiations were given a wake up alarm call today by a wailing siren outside the conference centre. It was an NGO stunt involving two trucks and two very loud air raid sirens, each enclosed in a locked cage. To turn the sirens off, the police had to cut their way through each metal cage to reach the machinery and arrest the protesters.

Commitment needed

10 June 2009 | Judith Orland

On their way to the plenary delegates at the UN climate talks here in Bonn, pass by a ragged bear holding up a sign: 'No coins, it's change I need.' It is a silent protest. If we would hold a minutes silence for each of the death caused by climate change, we would not be uttering a word for the next 180 days and even longer.

The world's biggest exclamation mark and I was part of it

6 June 2009 | Ainhoa Goma

It was an aerial photo made by more than 400 volunteers who braved heavy rain to send out their message to the world.

The areal image was possible thanks to white boiler suits that were provided by the tck tck tck campaign. The passionate activists included members of NGOs from all over the world as well as local participants.

We all lay down in a park near the climate negotiations meeting, using our bodies to spell out the words "Yes You Can".
