The People’s Orb was bid a fitting farewell from Australian shores, carrying with it the hopes of future generations for a fair and binding climate treaty to be delivered by world leaders at next week's UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen.With a 350 gigabyte hard drive at its heart, The People’s Orb will now relay to the other side of world downloading an array of digital files en route to the Danish capital. It will collate the voices, images and action of citizens across the globe, creating a mosaic of human expression calling for our world leaders to take definitive action on climate change.

The People’s Orb has already sparked great discussion in social media circles as to what should be included as a representation of the global call for climate action. With suggestions ranging from popular culture, with Michael Jackson’s Earth Song, to the provocative, with photos of world leaders’ children and grandchildren, and various inspirational quotes from history, there is no shortage of human interest in this historic document. In addition to public suggestions, The People’s Orb will contain key climate change reports from the world’s most eminent scientists, thoughts from the world’s great minds extolling the moral imperative of immediate climate action and representation from the leaders of the world’s cities calling for action on climate change.
