The GDA or the Global Day of Action is a global initiative of public engagement to address climate change. This year, people and organizations around the world will highlight the COP/MOP (Conference of Parties/Meeting of Parties) on the Kyoto Protocol that will happen in Bali, Indonesia this December 2007. In the Philippines, Greenpeace has been pushing the government to pass the Renewable Energy Bill to ensure safer and cleaner energy sources. With more people, groups, organizations, schools, the GDA on Dec. 8 will provide a louder voice to encourage a better, more climate-friendly future for our country.

The Global Day of Action aims to:
1. Mobilize and engage various public groups including supporters, volunteers, schools, partner organizations, networks and other groups to participate in the global day of action.
2. Increase awareness on the climate change and encourage the public to push the government to pass the RE Bill with the understanding that renewable energy and energy efficiency are the solutions.

Theme:
The RE parade will include everyone from all walks of life- students, runners, stilt-walkers, zip-artists, bikers, basketball players, cheering squads, activists - all aiming for one goal: for the government to pass the Renewable Energy Bill NOW. Renewable energy is the main theme – which will be embodied in the different parols, hats, costumes or any type of prop each group or individual would like to bring or wear. The various renewable energy sources that can be used as the group’s theme can be wind, sun/solar, water or a mix of all or any of these.
