Candlelit vigils for a real climate deal at Copenhagen
Saturday 12th December 5.30pm-6.15pm across the world in Sutton, city centre and Kings Heath.
Over the next two weeks, our leaders will negotiate the most important agreement of our time – one that must stop a climate catastrophe.
But they will only aim as high as we demand. That’s why on the weekend of December 12th we will gather at thousands of climate vigils in every corner of the planet to send a clear message: The World Wants a Real Deal!
