On this day, grassroots campaigners across the world, will unite to demand that world leaders deliver a sound international climate treaty at the UN Climate Talks to be held at Copenhagen in December. This message will be communicated through the number 350 which will become incorporated into group actions taking place in locations ranging from town squares to mountain tops (see examples from last year here.) 350 refers to 'the number scientists say is the safe limit of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,' explains Phil Aroneanu of 350.org. To date, 1796 actions from 141 countries, set to take place on this day, have already been registered on the 350.org website.
During the lead-up to the Day of Climate Action individuals from any of the 20 countries participating in 'Project MOBiLIZE' can subscribe to receive text message updates of climate information and action taking place within their country and globally. Subscribers will also be able to take part in discussions on climate change by contributing their views via text messages which will then be posted on the 350.org twitter feed. These message will then be collated and delivered to the world leaders come December in Copenhagen.
