The World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth  wrapped up its four days of non-stop working activism a little over a week ago. Located in the small Bolivian town of Tiquipaya, right on the outskirts of Cochabamba, the WPCCC was a collective effort to gather the voices of activists, indigenous people and the global community at large into a collective document. This document titled Submission from the Plurinational State of Bolivia to UNFCCC would include the People's Declaration Agreement on Climate Change and the Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth. Static Photography had the chance to head down to South America to photograph this event which sparked a strengthened voice in the people's movement around climate change.

In less than 100 days, over 180 nations will be meeting in Copenhagen to discuss international negotiations around the global community's carbon emissions. This is not an easy task in any means for this is the 15th time these nations have met and the past 14 times, have failed to come up with a common solution. Many initiatives have started up around this important conference to spread the word of the importance of COP15 conference negotiations. Static Photography has been working with the global initiative TckTckTck with their project called Time To Click to spread the word of climate change through the use of photos taken around the world.
