See below for a selection of videos from the demonstration that took place on Wednesday 16 December in Copenhagen. As the time for the arrival of the heads of states comes closer, things toughen up both inside the Bella Center and outside, where demonstrations are violently suppressed.

The Assembly of Social Movements was held on 13 December in the Klimaforum (the alternative forum or people’s climate summit). It brought together more than a thousand people, in a joyful, fraternal and combative atmosphere.

The ATTAC march was situated in the second third of the demonstration of this Saturday 12^th.

For 40 minutes, we marched in the streets of Copenhagen without the least incident to occur; the atmosphere of the march was rather pleasant, fun and imaginative. We were about to approach the first suburbs in the direction of Bella Center where are held UNO Summit negotiations, when the policemen on foot walked through the march perpendicular to the road and blocked passage for the demonstrators. A few seconds later, 5 police vans cut us off the end of the demonstration. We were about a 100 people, mainly from ATTAC and from Bizi, stuck in this tight stretch. Inside the vans, we could hear dogs barking. Glances of surprise, incomprehension and of fear.

On december 7  the independant internet-TV-newscast Kontext started with a pilot broadcast on the UN climate summit in Copenhagen.

Guests from Germany, the UK and Latin America were invited to the studio in Berlin, among them two participants of the international climate caravane from Geneva to Copenhagen: Camila Moreno from the Global Forest Coalition / Friends of the Earth Brazil and Alexandra Almeida from Oil Watch / Accion Ecologica, Ecuador.

The broadcast also features the well-known climatalogist Hartmut Grassl from Hamburg, Rob Hopkins, the founder of the Transition-Town-movement, Tina Löffensend from Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND) and Ines Koburger, activist with the Climate Justice Action network.
