Climate Change Conference, delegates from some of the world's most vulnerable countries joined Kumi Naidoo, executive director of Greenpeace International, and more than 150 youth climate activists in occupying the main plenary. They continued to march throughout the conference center during our live broadcast. As security officers closed in on the protest, the president of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, addressed the crowd. Democracy Now! was on the scene and brings you this report.
