The climate talks at Copenhagen closed in 2009 with no binding agreements or timetables for curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Only pledges were made to avoid more than a two degree Celsius temperature increase and avoid dangerous climate change. 

On this edition, we hear from climate justice activists who went to Copenhagen. They say we need a system change, not climate change.
