Antarctica Challenge: Documentary Shown at COP15

  16/12/2009
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Canada's Polar Cap Productions, Inc. (PCP) have announced the COP15 screenings of Mark Terry's new climate change documentary The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning. The partnership between UNEP and PCP is part of the United Nations' "Seal the Deal" campaign, a call to action to clinch an ambitious and effective agreement on climate change during the COP15 conference 7th to 18th December 2009.


The Antarctiva Challenge
Screenings will take place at the Bella Centre and other venues in Copenhagen throughout the conference. A special two-and-a-half-minute trailer created for the COP15 screenings is currently playing daily on the jumbo screen at the convention centre and was shown on the Climate Express, a special train commuting delegates between Brussels and Copenhagen.


Screening of The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning had already begun at the Climate Exchange, a pre-conference event designed to prepare delegates for the COP15 conference. All four screenings held 3th to 6th December played to full houses.


A complete schedule of COP15 screenings is detailed below. Filmmaker Mark Terry is a delegate of COP15 and will be present for all screenings conducting Q&As following each screening. Interviews are available until Dec. 18. On Dec. 17, Mr. Terry will be joined by John Gerretsen, Canada's Minister of the Environment for Ontario.


The documentary focuses on new discoveries made related to the ozone hole, the diminishing populations of penguins and other marine life, the greening of the world's largest desert, warming temperatures, glacial melting and increased world sea level.
