Inhabitant's Special Series: The Anthropocene Issue is a mini-series of videos about the Anthropocene, filmed during the Anthropocene Campus at the House of World Cultures in Berlin, bringing together more than 100 participants from different fields.

2009 was the year the United Nations COP15 took place in Copenhagen, infamous for the secret agreement drafted among the G20, the so-called "Danish Text." In response, the Embassador and spokesperson for the G77, Lumumba Di-Aping, called a press conference and addressed the plenary accusing the G20 of genocide. The Danish Text agreement proposed a limit of two degrees in emissions (a target that was finally reduced to 1.5 degrees in the Paris COP20) and was accused of favoring developed countries. Recent climate studies attest that for many parts of the world average of two degrees will actually mean higher temperature increases, putting in some developing countries at grave risk.
