If you can’t go yourself, you can still send your voice.

Road to Copenhagen is a unique politically endorsed initiative which gives you the chance to directly influence the UN negotiations on the International Climate Change Agreement for the post-2012 period to be agreed in Copenhagen in 2009. The initiative broadens the negotiations from the traditional and often closed, government-to-government negotiations to give a voice to businesses, legislators, academics and civil society, all of whom have a critical role in delivering a low carbon society.
       A couple of weeks prior to COP15, the so-called Wiki technology is opened. Via the Wiki, you can directly edit policy contributions that will be discussed during the conference and then delivered to the formal negotiation process. You can also vote on or rate the proposed contributions. The site also features several discussion forums which enable you to debate and exchange ideas.
       All contributions from the forum will form the basis of the issue papers to be given in preparation of each working group.

 
"Raise Your Voice" channel is part of a collaboration between the "Raise you voice in Cyberspace!", The Government of Denmark, Google/YouTube and the CNN to focus on increasing awareness of climate change. Submit your views and questions on the major environmental questions facing governments, organisations and individuals ahead of COP15, by uploading your video to the YouTube channel. The best contributions will be aired during the COP15 CNN/YouTube TV debate on December 15.

At http://www.earthhour.org/ people from all over the world who are not in Copenhagen have the possibility to show their support for an ambitious climate agreement, by voting Earth over Global Warming.
