The UN Foundation, in cooperation with Found Object Films interviewing 51Give's Daniel Foa for the “See You in Copenhagen” short-film series
Tens of thousands of people from 192 different countries are descending upon Copenhagen with hopes of forming a global agreement to respond to environmental challenges.
It is not clear how effective these negotiations will be, but one of the events there, Gabriel London’s campaign following his short-film series, “See You in Copenhagen,” is being recognized as an encouraging and powerful force. 51Give is honored to have its very own short-film directed and produced by Gabriel London, in the series that commenced this awareness campaign and being played throughout the COP15 conference. The 51Give short film reflects the environmental context of China and hope for the future by focusing on one of our wind-turbine projects.
“See You in Copenhagen” not only features 51Give, but is being recognized by The Huffington Post, which is the 41st most viewed website in the U.S. and the 207 most viewed website in the world.The Huffington Post, in an article entitled, “Don’t Tell Us It Can’t Be Done Campaign Spotlights China And Grenada (VIDEO)”, published on December 9th, emphasizes that,
“[These] fantastic videos–created by Gabriel London of Found Object Films, in partnership with the UN Foundation, TckTckTck and Timberland’s EarthKeeper Network, show what is at stake in these negotiations.”
As one of the internationally most widely viewed web sites the The Huffington Post’s support and belief in “See You in Copenhagen” is encouraging for climate change efforts and 51Give. The Huffington Post reaches up to .8% of internet users every day, users that are becoming more aware of environmental challenges, what is at stake at COP15, and 51Give through “See You in Copenhagen.”
Since the Climate Week Opening Ceremony in New York City, when the films premiered for an audience including, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Danish Minister of Climate and Energy Connie Hedegaard they have been an influential aspect of COP15 and the global community’s environmental movement.
The films have such great impact, because they do more than relay statistics and policy proposals, they tell the stories of the real people, the entrepreneurs, like 51Give, and the politicians working toward innovative sustainable solutions.
51Give is excited and honored to part of this series, which is receiving so much international attention, raising awareness, and highlighting the urgent need for a global agreement on climate action.
