In the Virtual World Second Life, citizens have been attending sessions in the OneClimate island. The interaction with Bali is starting at 12:30 UTC/GMT (4:30 AM Second Life time) every day in order to put questions and thoughts to delegates at the Bali Climate Summit. This live window on the crucial UN conference has received support from Her Royal Highness The Princess of Yaximixche in the form of promotion and awareness of the event amongst more than 800 Honourables of HRH Princess Manqo Foundation.
The Conference is presided over by Indonesian Environment Minister Rachmat Witoelar, with support from the UN’s Climate Change Secretariat (UNFCCC), headed by Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer. The first week involved negotiations among the Parties at the level of high-ranking government officials on a wide range of issues. On Wednesday, 12 December, the high-level segment will start with addresses by the UN Secretary-General and the President of Indonesia.
The initiative of promoting actively this event within Second Life amongst different groups has been led by The Princess of Yaximixche, and is likely to have a significant impact on the UN climate negotiations starting next week as the conference has received a massive response from Second Life citizens and delegates are receiving feedback and questions from citizens around the globe.
The Prince of Yaximixche congratulated the organisers from OneWorld and OneClimate for allowing Second Life´s citizens to express their thoughts and ask questions and has “fervent hope” that leaders in Bali will make the tough decisions the world so urgently needs and that will have a tremendous impact on the future of humanity.
Citizens who don´t have Second Life can also watch delegates on video and put their questions in a chat box below the Second Life live video either in OneClimate or HRH Princess Manqo website.
OneClimate kindly provides a free archive with recorded videos of previous days of this important event which is available to the audience accross the planet.
