Copenhagen: What's your solution?

Copenhagen: What's your solution?

If you had the microphone at the Copenhagen climate summit, what would you say?

What is your message to world leaders on global warming?

BBC News would like you to send us your message for Copenhagen.

The best video messages we receive will be featured in a special televised debate on BBC News, at the climax of the conference.

Last chance

The UN Climate Change Conference begins in Copenhagen, Denmark, on December 7.

Some say it is our last chance to save the world from runaway climate change.

Many hope that world leaders will agree significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions; and compensation for countries suffering from global warming.

But talks so far have been slow, with key nations cagey to commit. There are fears that no firm action will be agreed.

• Are you worried about climate change?

• What deal would you strike in Copenhagen?

• Who should cut their emissions? By how much? And how should they make these cuts?

• How would you improve the negotiation process?

Life in 2050

How will climate change affect you in future?

The blue marble

Is it already affecting you now?

Perhaps you are farmer whose crops are vulnerable.

Or you may live in a coastal area at risk of flooding.

You may be an oil worker, or a coal miner whose job is threatened.

Whatever you do, we'd like to hear from you.

Tell us:

• Why does climate change matter to you?

• How much are you personally willing to adapt, to live more sustainably?

• Are you prepared to change the way you travel, the food you eat, or to have fewer children?

• Would you pay more taxes - to invest in green energy and compensate countries hurt by climate change?
