Photo Recap of the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen

"System Change Not Climate Change" banner - United Nations Climate Change Conference - COP15 - Copenhagen, Denmark

It was only a few short weeks ago that the entire world had its eyes and ears glued to the news coming out of the city of Copenhagen. Known extensively for its bike culture and its chocolate, Copenhagen was the home of the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference . This conference was a global meeting of international leaders and designated negotiators, gathered to develop a ambitious, fair and binding global contract around carbon emissions. Lasting just under two weeks this conference, coined COP15, was covered by thousands of media and NGO from around the world. We were very excited at Static Photography  to have sent Kris Krüg  to Copenhagen to cover the conference as a UN accredited photographer.
