Sandbag recently launched its target converter. It allows you to compare different offers on the table from countries against different baselines. So you can directly compare what the EU and US for instance, are promising. A very interesting tool just before the negotiations starts to better understand what promises may effectively mean.
Sandbag also developed a power sector multiplayer game to show players how complex it is to reach a deal. Try it: it is exciting!

People used to think that it would be impossible to put a man on the moon, now people see the challenge of tackling climate change in the same way. But it is possible to make 'one giant leap' for mankind again in 2009. The power sector is the biggest, easiest and most important of all carbon emitting sectors to address. Climate NGO Sandbag are launching a campaign calling for world leaders to agree a global deal for the clean power at Copenhagen. To spread the world they are working with the international parkhour and freerunning community to stage the world's first ever global jam against climate change on Saturday September the 26th.
At the largest-ever truly global youth gathering on climate change, in Daejeon (Republic of Korea), on 20 August 2009, some 700 young people, ranging from 10 to 24 years of age, honed in on their governments’ track record in addressing climate change, emphasizing the need for strong vision and leadership. In a statement, the young delegates – representing three billion of the world’s population – expressed their “concern and frustration that their governments are not doing enough to combat climate change”, adding that “we now need more actions and less talking”. The declaration was finalized and adopted by the young participants at the Tunza Children and Youth Conference in Daejeon (Republic of Korea), as part of the global UN-wide 'Seal the Deal!' campaign spearheaded by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to galvanize political will and public support for a comprehensive global climate agreement.
