With only 3 days to go, GetUp are busy preparing for Copenhagen.
We will be on the ground at the conference, making sure our politicians demand strong action on climate change. Sign up here to become a 'climate cop' and we'll send you exclusive updates on the talks that will decide the global response to climate change.
We are also sending a group of impressive Pacific Islanders to Copenhagen. Unfortunately, the nations most affected by climate change can't afford to send large delegations to argue for their country's survival. Can you chip in to ensure their voices are heard?
