World Television Launches Climate-Change Portal

World Television launched online-video-news portal climatetalks.tv in preparation for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP15), which will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, Dec. 7-18.

The portal was launched to host video footage and other multimedia assets related to climate change from a variety of sources to support broadcast, print and online journalists’ stories around the event, and World Television said video footage will be available for download in broadcast-quality from October through until the end of December and into 2010.

World Television will also be onsite at the conference to provide full production and technical-support services for its clients, including television crews and online and broadcast distribution facilities.

World Television founder Peter Sibley said:

We’ve developed and launched climatetalks.tv to support the communications activities of over 1,000 organizations attending the Copenhagen event in December, as well as the hundreds of companies and government bodies that have a stake in the climate-change debate. Broadcast and online journalists will need news content from the widest range of sources to report authoritatively on what is probably the most pressing issue of the 21st Century, and climatetalks.tv will deliver it 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
