Take note of the date: Sunday, 21 September is marked as a global day of action and will feature the largest climate march in the world’s history – you can have to be a part of it.
The People’s Climate March aims to mobilise mass action to coincide with the 2014 UN Climate Change Summit. In just 45 days, world leaders will meet in New York City for a UN summit on the climate crisis, joining UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who will urge governments to support an ambitious global agreement to dramatically reduce global-warming causing pollution.
This will signify the right time to put forward the demands of the people for the world we know is within our reach: a world with an economy that works for people and the planet; a world safe from the ravages of climate change; a world with good jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities. Sunday, 21 September has been earmarked as a day of global action on climate change, with marches being organised in cities through the world, allowing people to demand environment-friendly policies from our leaders to help curb climate change and keep temperature rises below two degrees.

As of July 20, there are over 550 local, national, and international organisations participating. But this “movement of movements” moment needs you to join the march. The revolution to decide between economy or the environment will begin with you and that’s why we want you to take part. We also want your organisation to be there, therefore if you own or work for an organisation that wants to support the climate march, check out the details here about adding your organisation to the list.
The Earth Online Journal supports the idea of mass action through The People’s Climate March to help build momentum for climate action around the world, as they believe that communities have the solutions to this crisis and thus finds it essential that everyone should come together on this day to help energise the actions far beyond the march for the years to come.
