Walk Against Warming 2009 December 12

Walk Against Warming 2009 took place on the Global Day of Action on Climate Change - Saturday 12 December.

Climate change is happening much faster than predicted. In December 2009, Governments of the world were to meet in Copenhagen to decide a new global climate treaty. This Climate Summit was the world’s best chance to avoid catastrophic climate change. It required global and national leaders to take strong and urgent action.
On 12 December 2009, mid-way through the Copenhagen meeting, there was a global day of climate action where people all over the world take to the streets to urge world leaders to cut greenhouse pollution.
In Australia, Walk against Warming was the national event held on this date in capital cities and many regional towns. Thousands of Australians took to the streets asking for a stronger government response on climate change. Now more than ever, it is important to show our political leaders that people from all walks of life are demanding action for a safe climate future.
