600k Activists and 193 Negotiators: Learnings and Challenges in Climate Change Politics

About

For the first time in history we witnessed massive public mobilization asking for climate action when 600,000 people participated in the People’s Climate March a month ago. What impact did it have on climate change negotiations? What could be done to mobilize millions for the 2015 COP summit in Paris? How could their influence be maximized to incentivize world leaders to sign a meaningful deal in Paris?
