COPENHAGEN – UNFPA Nordic Office joined forces with other UN agencies and the European Environment Agency to screen world-renowned photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s film ‘HOME’ on World Environment Day, 5 June.
Using Arthus-Bertrand’s trademark aerial footage, the film – shot in more than 50 countries – makes an urgent appeal for the planet, arguing that in ten years it will be too late to reverse its degradation.
The premiere took place on Kongens Nytorv, a public square in downtown Copenhagen. In August, the Danish Film Institute in Copenhagen (Cinemateket) will show multiple screenings of ‘HOME’ along with special presentations about the issue of climate change.
The screenings come just a few months before the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP15) in December where world leaders are expected to negotiate a new climate change agreement.
