As the two-week schedule of COP15 gets under way, 15,000 men and women are hitting a new stride on their path to influencing the way humanity goes about fighting climate change. The range of activities and negotiations are diverse, and major themes are starting to crystallize. We’ll be bringing you examinations across a range of COP topics as the conference goes on.

One of the groups doing an impressive job in pushing for ambitious actions, strong targets and developed/developing world fairness is the Climate Action Network (CAN). With over 500 members attending from across constituent organizations, CAN packs a big punch with its broad reach and rather smart folks.
The CAN team held a press conference Tuesday, and recorded this video. Gives a very tangible sense of the conference, after all the news reports, polished films, denial and hope. It also illustrates what is actually going on at COP15 better than a stack full of print or a nest full of tweets.
