Unite to combat climate change’ – a topic that reflects everyone’s individual responsibility to protect the planet, as well as the urgency for nations to agree on a new climate change deal in December 2009. The screening in Copenhagen is a joint event arranged by the European Environment Agency and the six United Nations agencies located in Denmark, among these the UNEP Risoe Centre at Risø DTU. In Denmark, World Environment Day will be celebrated with a public premiere of the new film ‘HOME’ created by world-renowned photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Using the stunning aerial footage that is Arthus-Bertrand’s trademark, the film – shot in more than 50 countries – makes an urgent appeal for our planet in peril and all its treasures, arguing that we have barely ten years left to reverse its degradation. The premiere in Copenhagen will take place at Kongens Nytorv from 11:00 – 17:00 on 5 June. Contact:Head of Centre John M.
