"This is a recording of the Red Lines protest on 12th December 2015 - The final day of the COP21 United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Paris. The protest was arranged to make sure that “the people had the last word”: to show that the is a global movement who want to apply pressure to leaders of countries and see that the “redline” of climate change targets laid out in negotiactions are not crossed. With Donald Trump currently debating whether to pull out of the COP21 climate agreement, this piece seems to become more relevant again. A reminder that there are people willing to go out on the streets and stand up for our planet."
