政治家和記者往往對旨在改善社會的國際協議感到厭倦。已經有太多評論員表示,12月7日在哥本哈根開始的全球氣候峰會不會產生限制溫室氣體排放的實際工具。全球廣告業對這種悲觀情緒感到厭惡,發起了一場草根運動,鼓勵全球公民發出希望的資訊……以努力向各國的領導人和參加聯合國氣候變化大會的代表施壓,促使他們採取行動。

當然,挑戰在於說服足夠多的人大聲疾呼。因此,以紐約市的奧美地球為首的廣告公司發起了一場名為“希望根哈根”的積極的公共關係運動。“你不能透過讓人們感到厭煩來讓他們關心氣候變化。你也不能透過威脅他們來讓他們關心,”奧美公關高階合夥人弗雷婭·威廉姆斯說。她說,就像說服他們想要一件產品一樣,“你必須激勵他們。”

該運動的標語是“當人民領導時,領導者追隨”和“讓我們把哥本哈根變成希望根哈根。”奧美及其廣告合作伙伴,以及SAP和可口可樂等贊助商,製作了一系列精美的、鼓舞人心的廣告,包括您在這裡看到的這些。

這些廣告已開始在全球主要媒體上投放,並將持續在雜誌、廣告牌和電視上播放,直到12月18日結束的COP 15會議結束。“希望根哈根”運動在線上 www.hopenhagen.org 上進行,個人可以在那裡簽署呼籲採取行動的聯合國氣候請願書。截至11月13日,已有超過378,000人簽名。但該運動也將在YouTube、Twitter和Facebook上進行,愛好者可以在這些平臺上獲得“希望根哈根”護照。

威廉姆斯說,哥本哈根市也可能同意暫時更改機場、火車站和其他關鍵地點的某些引人注目的標誌,在哥本哈根的C上貼上半透明的綠色H。所有這些努力的既定目標是讓COP 15代表知道“世界將關注他們,並讓他們對結果負責。”
