The Jeanne Sauvé Foundation proudly supports and urges you to join the People’s Climate March and Walking the Walk on Climate Change.
World leaders are meeting in New York City during the week of September 21st for a historic UN summit on climate change.
Using the slogan “catalyzing action,” the UN is bringing together world leaders to “focus on tangible climate actions.”
NYC-based Purpose has launched the dynamic #WalkTheWalk campaign for those who can’t march themselves at the People’s Climate March on Sunday in the lead-up to the UN meeting.
We #walkthewalk because we’re ready for a better, cleaner, renewable world. Show us how you #walkthewalk for #peoplesclimate! Check out the amazing videos and create your own.
Desmond Tutu has led calls for people to join a global march on Sunday in support of more ambitious climate regulations.
Campaigners at the NGO 350.org say over 2,000 events around the world are scheduled to take place, ranging from small gatherings to the 100,000 expected to march in New York.
People’s Climate March publishes a stirring message and lists events around the globe that you can join — or you can organize your own.
A weekend to bend the course of history
In September, heads of state are going to New York City for a historic summit on climate change. With our future on the line, we will take a weekend and use it to bend the course of history.
In New York City there will be an unprecedented climate mobilisation – in size, beauty, and impact. This moment will not be just about New York or the United States. Heads of state from around the world will be there, as will the attention of global media.
Our demand is for Action, Not Words: take the action necessary to create a world with an economy that works for people and the planet – now. In short, we want a world safe from the ravages of climate change.
We know that no single meeting or summit will “solve climate change” and in many ways this moment will not even really be about the summit. We want this moment to be about us – the people who are standing up in our communities, to organise, to build power, to confront the power of fossil fuels, and to shift power to a just, safe, peaceful world.
To do that, we need to act – together.
