In a symbolic activity, to illustrate that climate change threatens us all, Greenpeace has immersed models of iconic global structures in the sea off Cancun – adding a twist to the resort city's coastal horizon.
With the partially-submerged edifices, including the Statue of Liberty, the Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower, Greenpeace sent a message to Ministers reminding them of what is at stake as they go into the final days of the UN Cancun
"Climate change knows no borders, it does not discriminate. The rising tide of climate impacts, be they economic, environmental or humanitarian will affect each and every one of us – rich and poor. Here in Cancun, government Ministers can still choose to steer us towards a bright and safe future, “ said Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace International Executive Director.
