Big news from Copenhagen in the last 24 hours. Things are moving so fast I don’t even know where to start. So I’ll start from this morning, when Amanda and Chris (from Vision Generation) met with KRudd. They told him about the petition we’re collecting and presented the amazing Youth Decide results.
We’re definitely on his radar now and he can’t ignore our message! And then this afternoon, as we were told NGOs had to leave the conference centre, youth from around the world staged an amazing sit-in for 8 hours straight, in a sign that we would not leave until world leaders signed a fair, ambitious and binding treaty. The sit-in had representatives from over ten countries – including Kenya, UK, Denmark, Turkey, Canada and more than I can remember! We were visited by many prominent people who offered their support and thanks. Check it out here.
Now it’s Thursday and we’re all fasting today in solidarity with Climate Justice Fast. On Friday many big organizations in Australia – including GetUp, ACF, WWF and the trade unions, have joined forces to organize a big vigil at Federation Square in Melbourne at 1pm – to show that we’re united in our call for a fair, ambitious and binding climate treaty. Please come along and tell all your friends to as well. Keep following us on Facebook and Twitter for more and more updates in these crucial last 72 hours of negotiations!
