The Seal the Deal campaign encourages internet users to sign a petition which will be presented to world leader prior to the December talks.

'Celebrities' of the environmental movement, from Nobel Prize-winning Kenyan tree campaigner Wangari Maathai to Hollywood actor Don Cheadle, have recorded a video promoting the campaign, which can be seen below.
