It's Getting Personal Deck of Cards

We reshuffled the deck in Copenhagen -- literally. We turned 52 of the Climate Board's most compelling stories into an It’s Getting Personal deck of playing cards. And we delivered the cards to every country negotiator, all United Nations and government officials, and hundreds of reporters at the Copenhagen climate conference.
