COPENHAGEN — Starting Monday and through Dec. 18, scientists and world leaders from over 190 countries will meet in the Danish capital of Copenhagen to negotiate a way to curb greenhouse gas emissions.The upcoming COP15 United Nations summit is already inspiring artists, who are responding by creating pieces that draw attention to the cause and make statements about global warming. One photographer has created a slideshow documenting environmental issues, set to Bob Dylan's song A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall. And a pair of sculptors chiseled a life-sized polar bear from a 20,000-pound block of ice; it is expected to melt over the two weeks to reveal a bronze skeleton at its center.
The following video provides a glimpse at some of the ways in which artists are preparing their works for the COP15 climate conference:
