There are truly no words to describe the experience that we
have had during our first week in Peru.
From our immersion in unfathomably rich cultural diversity to the immense
motivation that has resulted from this grand call to climate action, here are some
pictures worth thousands upon thousands of words.
The incredibly breathtaking ocean views from the Miraflores area of Lima, Peru.
The iconic towering palm trees of Lima, a clear signal of the climate separation between the northern Midwest and the sub-equatorial region in which we currently are.
The rocks on the Miraflores beach--as truly unique and diverse as the people and ideas we have encountered at COP20.
The "Plenary" room, the main meeting room at the COP where most of the international decisions/agreements are made.
The warm days and cool evenings are a welcome break from the unrelenting extremes of the north.
Our wonderful host and FDR teacher, Ms. Rumble presenting gifts to the Secretary General of the UNFCCC.
Sarah Dupont, producer of the award-winning film "Amazon Gold" presenting a petition with over 7,000 student signatures pledging to do their part to combat climate change.
Yoca Arditi-Rocha, Executive Director of No Planeta B, presenting gifts to the Secretary General.
Frequent evenings at the conference center provide opportunities for the attendance of evening side events.
I would love to watch Amazon Gold, is there a link where I could find it?
ReplyDeleteAmazon Gold has not actually been released yet! I recommend keeping an eye on their website at http://amazongoldfilm.com/?page_id=49 for any updates. It is definitely worth watching and has won quite a few awards-including a few from the International Wildlife Film Festival!
DeleteThis looks like a very beautiful place to hold the conference. I think that will draw in more people to come and witness this huge turning point within the world!
