The TckTckTck campaign mobilized 17 million people worldwide in support of a fair, ambitious and legally-binding deal at 2009’s Copenhagen Climate Summit. While that summit failed to deliver, the TckTckTck campaign and our alliance of 300+ partner organizations have never given up. Despite growing threats from climate change, we believe a clean energy future is possible and we’ll never stop working towards it. These are our favourite videos from the growing climate movement.
