Stop climate chaos - stand up and be counted with Sustrans
On the eve of critical international climate change talks in Nairobi, thousands of people will be sending the message to the government, and other world leaders, that they too must stand up to stop climate chaos. People will be travelling to the event from across the UK in ingenious low-carbon ways to take part in a range of activities around London during the day. There will be the Campaign against Climate Change march, which will converge on Trafalgar Square for the main event. In the Square there will be music, film, special guests and speakers, including a video message from David Attenborough pledging his support for the campaign. Sustrans say "Whether you care about the environment, global poverty, transport issues, wildlife or just you and your family, climate change is fast becoming the greatest challenge we face, affecting everything we do. But we can stop climate chaos if we act now." Those who can't make it to London for the event can still show your support - everyone who signs up to the campaign via text message or by logging onto the campaign website (to be launched in October) will be counted ‘virtually' on the day. A live counter will clock up those in the Square and those who care but couldn't come along.
