While our leaders continue to talk about what's "politically possible," the world continues to warm and precious days go by. We can't continue to allow our leaders here in the U.S. to sit back and play political games when our future is at stake. Greenpeace is joined 350.org and a massive coalition of organizations and grassroots activists around the world to demand world leaders do what is necessary to stop global warming.
In total more than 5,400 events took place around the world. There were rallies in Ethiopia, bike rides in Wellington, SCUBA divers in Australia, tree-plantings in Thailand, hundreds of students marching in India and Nepal and Mongolia, a dance in Amsterdam, snowboarders forming the number 350 on a snow-covered slope in Wanaka, New Zealand, and hikers unfurled a 350 banner atop the tallest mountain in Antarctica.

A call to action
Greenpeace is part of a large global alliance of organizations calling on the world's leaders to agree to a climate deal that is ambitious, fair and binding. Together, we are pushing for a strong climate treaty that will not only reverse the march of dangerous climate change but also help us tackle some of the world's largest challenges like deforestation.
