Consequences by NOOR was launched with a series of events and public initiatives during the Climate Summit in Copenhagen in December 2009. Video by Ivan Abreu.

With only a week left at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, world leaders, conference participants and everyone through out Copenhagen view Consequences by NOOR images in hundreds of locations.

Noor images line the inside of the Greenpeace globe, limited edition prints can be purchased at Dask Gallery, Reputation storefronts are lined with posters and across Copenhagen, billboards, the train station and various venues showcase the images.

Tens of thousands of Consequences by NOOR posters and post cards are being distributed as a reminder of the consequences of climate change.

“Slightly removed from the organized chaos of the Bella Centre, the Climate Rescue Station is proving to be an oasis of calm and tranquility, a place of relaxation and reflection. Perfect, then, to host a new photographic exhibition to illustrate the impacts of climate change around the world.

“Art can be a powerful tool for the social justice movement and it plays an important role in communicating new ideas. The images in Consequences are certainly powerful, although the landscapes and people they depict are blighted by environmental degradation and social upheaval.” Read more on the Greenpeace website.

On December 12 one of the biggest events around the climate summit in Denmark will take place. It is expected that approximately 60,000 will gather for a clear message to all world leaders in Copenhagen.

Greenpeace International, and DJ Isis have joined forces and at 16:30 will give a performance for all protesters in the Bella Center Metro Station. The show will also include a grand vj-show. The images are from the Consequences by NOOR project.

On December 7th the world will turn its attention to Copenhagen and COP15, the United National Climate Change Conference. More than 15,000 officials, advisers, diplomats, journalists and campaigners will be joined by heads of state and government officials to address the critical issues surrounding climate change.

NOOR photographers traveled the world documenting the devastating effects of climate change on millions of people and will launch a photographic exhibition of their ground breaking work during the conference. These photographs show not what might happen in the future but what is happening today.

Join us in Copenhagen as we encourage the world to take a serious look at how climate change is affecting the lives of millions of people.
