In the square opposite Tivoli gardens in Copenhagen, a giant illuminated globe slowly turns. Superimposed on the map of the earth, a tally of the global virtual protesters that have signed up to give hope a chance at the UN climate talks. A stage has been set up for bands and a guest appearance from the Yes men. Green illuminated booths explain the dynamics of climate change and renewable energy. Go to the Hopenhagen website and learn about the ‘The business of hope’. “Hopenhagen is built on more than just wishful thinking. In fact, there are already companies out there today that are committed to change. Our corporate citizens are doing more than just supporting the movement. They're incorporating it into their business practices”. Businesses such as Coca Cola; Siemens; and German software corporation, SAP. Sponsors of the Hopenhagen greenwash initiative.
