tcktcktck — Copenhagen 7 Dec 09 | The World Is Ready

On the weekend of December 12, TckTckTck and our partners will gather citizens in every corner of the world for our next massive global day of action. Our message is clear: at the Copenhagen climate summit, the world wants a real deal!

At very middle of the Copenhagen negotiations, people like you around the world will organize thousands of candlelight vigils, as well as marches, "signature walls", and other positive events over the entire weekend.

 WHAT:  Barcelona residents and visitors holding 1000 alarm ringing clocks – as government delegates  arrive at the last international climate talks before the Copenhagen Summit. TckTckTck campaigns director Ben Margolis will be available for interview on the opening of the talks.

WHY: To “wake up” these representatives of world leaders to the urgent need for them to make progress towards a fair, ambitious and binding deal when the climate change talks begin in Barcelona – with just weeks before the Copenhagen summit.

Wow. It's been quite a day. Over 2,682 events were held in 134 countries today to wake up the world to climate change.

Organized by TckTckTck partners and amazing individuals from every walk of life, the Global Climate Wake Up Call garnered a monsterous amount of news coverage - there will be very few world leaders that will pick up their local newspaper or turn on their local news channel and NOT see people in the streets telling them to wake up and be the leaders we need them to be on this important issue.

As many as 1,500 events for the great global climate wake-up call are taking place on Sept 21 (today), including 153 in Brazil, 95 in France, and 26 in New Zealand. In Pakistan, two events have been organised in Karachi, one in Hyderabad and one in Islamabad.

The campaign is spearheaded by Avaaz.org, an independent, not-for-profit global campaigning organisation, that works to ensure that the views and values of the world’s people inform global decision-making.
