All United for Earth”, from Geneva to Glasgow for COP26
As the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) is convening in Glasgow, several Geneva based institutions and authorities have joined forces as part of a special “climate” cultural campaign designed to make the residents of Geneva more aware of the issues and solutions relating to climate change and biodiversity loss.
For the very first time, an animated projection has been displayed on the facade of the Palace of Nations in Geneva and on that of the Natural History Museum every evening since 3 November until 12 November from 18h00 - 23h00.
The projection shows “Frankie”, the UNDP dinosaur speaking at the rostrum of the United Nations to urge policy-makers to opt against the extinction of our species.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Geneva, the City of Geneva and its Natural History Museum, the Permanent Mission of Switzerland, the Canton of Geneva and the local authorities of Greater Geneva have joined forces as part of a special “climate” cultural campaign designed to make the residents of Geneva more aware of the issues and solutions relating to climate change and biodiversity loss.
The projection of “Frankie” is accompanied by a series of events such as film screenings and a night-time discovery, a walk on November 9th, from the Palace of Nations to the Museum of Natural History to visit the exhibitions in the Museum.
