A Message from Bigger Picture: Copenhagen Climate Change Conference

Hello friends,

As visual practitioners we all believe in the power of visuals to create engagement and clarity.

At the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference <http://www.cop15.com/>  we are the next 12 days using this power to help WWF create clarity around what is happening at the conference and what a good deal and agreement may look like.

We invite you to help us bring a lot of visuals into the negotiations and out to the public and hereby raise the understanding and prove the power of visuals.
