Use of Maps in COP15

Maps and geography were used throughout the COP15 to convey points, give global perspective, and to convey information. These are a few pictures from the conference:


Protester NGO in the Bella Center wearing shirt with a global map on it. "Don't Bracket our Future" is referring to the practice of bracketing lines of text in the document negations for further review. Often a method to delay agreement rather then actually make a negotiation effort.
