International Day of Climate Action

On October 24, the International Day of Climate Action will cover almost every country on earth, the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet’s history. There will be big rallies in big cities, and 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. Every event will highlight the number 350, and people will gather at some point for a big group photo depicting that important message. At 350.org, all the photos for a gigantic, global, visual petition will be assembled. (Picture: Gold Coast)
