Posté parPeople often wonder if our individual actions will ever make a difference, especially on something as big and overwhelming as climate change. And after seeing some of the news coming out of the UN Climate Summit on Tuesday, it's also hard to believe some times whether the leaders of the world will ever listen to what the people want.
This week may prove the cynics among us wrong: on Monday we showed ourselves, the media, and world leaders that the global climate movement is here, and we are ready for a FAB deal in Copenhagen. If you want to be inspired by the power of the people to work together and make a difference, look no further than this video compilation from Monday's incredible Global Wake Up Call!
You can also read highlights from the massive amount of mainstream press coverage from the Call, buzz in the the blogger and alternative press, and look at some incredible photos submitted by real people from around the world.
Below, watch a longer version of the video, with more in-depth news coverage, more images from around the world, a nobel peace prize winner inside the UN climate summit, and a certain sexiest man alive, all calling for our leaders to wake up.

not to mention the photos!
Amazing! It's great to see all those photos too. People all over the world from five continents, with the same "Fair Ambitious Binding" signs that we were carrying here in Canada. Well done everyone - and well done Avaaz. What's next?? We are behind you!

However, developing countries are most at risk of climate change not because they will experience greater climate change, but because they lack adaptive capacity to cope with its impacts. ,
