Road to Copenhagen

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has chosen Eco Action Partnership to create an awareness campaign within the culture sector ahead of the global summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen, at the beginning of December. 

The result, a series of three gigs in London during October and November, chosen for their diverse audience mix in which to drive awareness of the governments ambitious global deal to succeed the Kyoto Protocol. 

The first of these was Franz Ferdinand at O2 Academy Brixton where the audience was engaged by a video booth in the bar area where they could record their own message to Ed Miliband or write messages of support on the graffiti wall in the foyer. The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre was the next stop on the awareness campaign where two of the bars were branded with the Act on Copenhagen logo and info points manned by DECC employees, on hand to give out relevant climate change information. Details of the next gig will be announced soon.
