On 21st September 2632 events were orchestrated by eco activists in 134 countries in order to send a ‘wake up’ message to heads of state throughout the world.
The wake up call, which made news headlines throughout the world, was organised by the international environment group Avaaz, which has 3.6 million members.
“World leaders have heard us,” an Avaaz spokesperson said. “But as last week’s UN summit showed, one day of action won’t be enough to get real progress on climate. We need to come back again and again, louder and louder, until we get a fair, ambitious and binding climate treaty.
“We’ll keep the pressure high through the TCKTCKTCK campaign until Copenhagen, with another global day of action on October 24th, and start planning right now for the largest climate mobilisation in history on December 12th, in the final days of the Copenhagen negotiations.
“If we stick together, anything is possible,” he concluded.
The following video of events around the globe on 21st September resulted from 10,000 wake up call pictures and 600 videos sent to Avaaz in 24 hours –
