One week until the International Day of Climate Action! This December in Copenhagen, Denmark, delegates, NGOs, and businesses from every nation will meet to finalize a new global climate change agreement. It is crucial that decision-makers at this meeting understand and are held accountable to crafting policy that is informed by the most recent science: the science of 350. To ensure that world leaders get this message, 350.org is mobilizing millions of people across the globe. Join the most widespread day of environmental action in history, attend one of over 3,000 simultaneous events in more than 170 countries. Find an event in your area. Photographs of the actions featuring 350 can be entered into the Imprints Art Contest as part of TakingITGlobal's Tread Lightly climate change education initiative. |
