This morning's events - in pictures
16 December 2009

This morning (Wednesday) officials refused Friends of the Earth's delegates entry to Copenhagen's Bella Centre. This is where the crucial UN climate talks are taking place.

We've been here since the start pressing - peacefully - for a strong and just agreement.

You can help

We'll continue to argue for a strong and fair agreement.

See how you can help.

And support this vital work.

Thank you.
