The exhibit opens at the American Association for the Advancement of Science HQ Atrium in Washington DC on November 10, 2009. A companion exhibit for kids, parents and school groups, "How We Know About Our Changing Climate," will highlight how scientists learn about climate change and include kids taking action, in the films "Young Voices on Climate Change." The exhibit will draw attention to the reality of climate change in Washington DC leading up to the Copenhagen international climate negotiations. |

United Nations Stamps
The office of the Secretary-General of the United Nations has requested the issuance of a personalized stamp event sheet to commemorate the Climate Change Summit forum, which was held during the United Nations General Assembly on September 22, 2009. The stamps feature Gary Braasch's photographs. The Secretary General signed the stamp package, saying "This year we have an unprecedented opportunity to tackle the climate crisis. I urge the world's governments to seal a deal on a climate change agreement in Copenhagen this December. It must be ambitious, fair and effective in reducing emissions while assisting countries as they adapt to the inevitable effects of climate change." |
