CNN & YouTube Live Debate in Copenhagen - Submit Your Question for World Leaders & Vote on other Questions

Have a pressing question for world leaders about climate change? This is your chance to ask it on television.

CNN and YouTube are conducting a live debate in Copenhagen, where leaders and activists at COP15 will come together to answer your top-ranked questions on climate change.



YouTube, CNN and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs are inviting world citizens to submit video and text questions for our world climate leaders here. Then vote on your favorite video questions until Dec 14th!

The world climate leaders who will be fielding your questions are Kofi Annan, Thomas Friedman, Yves de Boer, and Bjorn Lomberg.

The top-rated questions will be posed to leaders at a live townhall event in Copenhagen on December 15th, currently scheduled for 12-2pm CPH time. The event will be televised on CNN international and live-streamed on YouTube.

The videos will be available for translation. This is the first time that Google Moderator is being used with YouTube. For more info about languages and tech, see this YouTube blog post.

ALL submitted video questions will cycle through a giant 3-story "cube", so your voice will be heard at COP15, even if not featured in the CNN YouTube Debate.

The media (including bloggers - though not me; I didn't make it to Copenhagen) are working out of the Fresh Air Center. The submitted videos will also be shown on several large screens @ the Fresh Air Center.
