350 Campaign on Climate Change
350 is the most important number in the world -it’s what scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
On 24th October 2009, people all over the world will take a stand for a safe climate future. In over 2300 actions covering almost every country in the world, there will be big rallies in big cities, and incredible creative actions across the globe: mountain climbers on our highest peaks with banners, underwater demonstrations in island nations threatened by sea level rise, churches and mosques and synagogues and ashrams engaged in symbolic action, star athletes organizing mass bike rides–and hundreds upon hundreds of community events to raise awareness of the need for urgent action. These events will be photographed with the number 350 in the background and be part of a gigantic visual petition at the UN Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen in December 2009.
