Witness the first-hand experience of a Canadian writer/librarian who attended the COP21 summit, Nov 30 – Dec 12 2015. COP21 was the biggest meeting of nations in France since the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. This video gives a unique citizen's overview of this intense historical event. Woodworth brings together, in 47 minutes, COP21’s amazing successes and inevitable shortcomings, then points to complementary actions that may be taken now to speed up national responses to global warming.
Woodworth has written:
“The Climate Bomb: Failures to Confront the Unspeakable and the Way Ahead” 2013 [ Ссылка ]
“’What Can I Do?’ Citizen Strategies for Nuclear Disarmament”
“The November Deep” (a novel)
