tvcpo15Every day from Monday 7th December to a special closing edition on Saturday 19th December IPS published an online TerraViva from Copenhagen. You can find them all available for download.

The international IPS team did a tremendous work in less than ideal circumstances, led by one of our new Editors-in-Chief, Diana Cariboni. Managed by IPS Latin America with the largest contingent of reporters coming from IPS Africa, and Darryl D’Monte president of our partner IFEJ strengthening the Asian dimension, the team was South-South co-operation in action, with colleagues from Canada and Romania adding their expertise too.

Kumi Naidoo, Kerry Kennedy, Mohan Munasinghe, Ashok Khosla, Saleemul Huq, Laura Tuck, Bill McKibben and Nnimmo Bassey are just a few of the experts who contributed opinion pieces or granted interviews to TerraViva.

New and old partnerships helped IPS to get stronger visibility for our Copenhagen coverage. The Guardian picked up our stories on biofuels and indigenous peoples. The Media Consortium featured TerraViva regularly in their blog, syndicated across the progressive media of North America, with their latest edition picking up our story about civil society preparations for Mexico 2010. Thomson Reuters AlertNet Climate Change portal picked up every story we wired. AllAfrica focused especially on IPS coverage of adaptation and on the African negotiating position. The Stakeholders Forum newsletter used our copy in Spanish, and one of our special features on the gender dimensions of climate change.

Through our own newsletter lists we sent tens of thousands of special newsletters to keep our constituencies updated on our ongoing coverage. Copenhagen-focused editions of Tierramerica ensured that our Latin American audiences were in the picture. Translated stories in the 24 languages of IPS found their way to printed and online media in many countries, strengthening our profile and image.

tvcop15banaAll the coverage, including stories, picture galleries, videos and podcasts are at the TerraViva COP 15.

The work in Copenhagen was supported by COM+, FANRPAN, the Dutch MDG3 Fund and Tierramerica.
