Welcome to the launch edition of Earthship COPernica.
Please visit eCOP Week One for current Earthship.
eCOP launches into orbit November 27, beaming down full spectrum 24x7 coverage of live events, news, side events, videos and radio shows from the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Durban, SA.
COP17 promises to be an historical event as these talks represent the last chance to ratify the second phase of the Kyoto Protocol. Just days before the conference, a group of developed countries announced plans to abandon Kyoto and begin work towards a new climate treaty which would not go into effect until 2020.
Hold onto your seats. It's going to be a rocky ride.
Over this two week period, exploratory vessels from 350.org, the Global Campaign for Climate Action, Post Carbon Institute, Oxfam, WiserEarth, tcktcktck, Transition US, Ecoequity, and environmental artist Franke James are sharing resources to provide background information, interviews, and breaking news on the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17). eCOP is also sharing content with the People's Conference C17 and Occupy COP17.
This collaboration provides a variety of channels of educational and inspirational writing and art; radio and tv shows; and a savvy integrated social media team.
Throughout the talks, Earthship COPernicus will be docked at The Durban Daily. Each day, one or two diaries will focus on events related to COP17.
