Global Climate Week (21-25 September)

United Nations, New York, 28 August 2009 - There are now only 100 days left before the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen.
To mark this day, the United Nations is launching Global Climate Week from 21 to 25 September. The Secretary-General is calling on communities around the world to take advantage of that week to encourage leaders to seal a fair, balanced and effective agreement on climate change. Events are planned in more than 120 countries for this first Global Climate Week, which coincides, as you know, with the Summit on Climate Change convened by the Secretary-General here, in New York, on 22 September.
The United Nations is also encouraging communities, businesses and individuals to add their voices to the Seal the Deal! campaign during Global Climate Week by signing the online Climate Petition. The petition will be presented by civil society to the Governments of the world in Copenhagen.

Pledge action! Sign the global petition:
