International Climate March

Posted on 30 November 2007

On Saturday 8th December people from all over the world will be marching the streets of their cities to show politicians how strongly they feel about climate change.

Climate Change MarchThe marches are organised to coincide with the United Nations Climate Change talks in Bali and are part of an International Day of Climate Action.

This 13th UN Climate Change conference has particular significance as earlier in the year the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed the severity of human related global warming.

More than ever the voice of the campaigners must be heard as they ask for world leaders to take stronger, more definite action.

UK marches are taking place in London (organised by the Campaign against Climate Change), Glasgow and Belfast. Even more marches will be organised in many other countries worldwide.

For details of the climate marches visit:
Friends of the Earth website

If you’re not able to go along then show your support by joining Friends of the Earth’s Big Ask.

If any GGG readers join the demonstrations on 8th December in any country we would love to hear from you.
