What is C17 Organising?
Common Process: C17 is working to facilitate civil society preparation for COP 17 and creating the conditions for effective participation, inclusivity and accountability. The process will encourage mutual solidarity by linking people's struggles for climate justice but also accommodate differences between organisations.
Civil Society Space: At each COP, civil society groups organise independent events, strategise, share knowledge, hold conferences and build international links for campaigns and initiatives. There is immense value in creating a single precinct to meet these needs. The People's Space being set up by C17 is inclusive of all civil society groups working on climate change and is open to the public. The Space will be active from 26th November to 10th December 2011.
Climate Refugee Camp: During 2011, national, regional and international organisations will mobilise people across South Africa and the continent to ensure a strong presence of informed and engaged community activists at COP17. The activists will be accommodated in the Climate Refugee Camp at COP17. They will participate in a programme of events, centred on the Global Day of Action, to raise awareness of climate impacts in Africa, the potential scale of social disruption, and hence the need for real solutions. The camp will be active from 1 to 5 December 2011.
Global Day of Action: The Global Day of Action (GDA) is a traditional and important event at the UNFCCC COPs. The primary action is a mass march of international and national community
