350 Aotearoa: don’t be late to the Party
350.org is an international campaign that’s building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis–the solutions that science and justice demand.
350 parts per million (ppm) is, according to leading climate scientists, the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Accelerating arctic warming and other early climate impacts have led scientists to conclude that we are already above the safe zone at our current 392ppm. The 350 campaign is focused on making the connections between our actions and climate change easier to understand so we can turn this around.
This year, 10/10/10 is the 350 Global Climate Work Party. Thousands of groups across New Zealand, and in over 180 countries, will join together and get to work on climate change. From holding a tree planting day to installing solar hot water heating on local buildings, we’ll be sending a call to leaders that they have our support in getting us back to 350ppm.
With more than 1300 global events registered already, there is plenty to get involved in. More information on actions taking place in Aotearoa can be found at 350.org.nz, or why not organise your own event – for details and suggestions go here, or register your event here.
