global day of action

There are lots of great opportunities to show our concern about our greenhouse gas emissions, and our appetite for strong action on climate.

The Global Day of action on Dec 8th last year was a good example of how we call all be organising actions and events in our communities.

There are three more days of action in the pipeline, which have been called by Rising Tide. Info is below.

Who here in Aotearoa is keen to get involved in any or all of these? Lets start the discussion...!

London - Day of ActionThe weather cleared and yesterday, Sat December 8th, was a gorgeous day in Auckland. When the Be The Change bus crew set up our open day exhibition in Weston Park, we were also kick-starting the day of action globally.

Aucklanders came to visit the bus and enjoy the Climate Rescue Carnival, but also to take part in the human banner. Our ‘Climate SOS’ yesterday was our part of the collective voice that called out to the UN Climate Conference taking place in Bali at the moment.

Over the last day tens of thousands of people around the world have repeated this message. Ten thousand people marched in Germany, ten thousand in Taiwan, two thousand in Uganda, six thousand in London despite the rain… and the list goes on.

Awareness about climate change has grown. It's still growing. As we continue to come face to face, on a more regular basis, with the impacts of climate change, our awareness will grow more still.
