Gather together for a day of global action on climate change

Campaign against Climate Change The run-up to Christmas is usually a hectic time for climate change aficionados, not because we're busy buying each other wind-up torches and mini-wind turbines to put under the tree, but there's just so much happening on the global scene. Not only is it the time for international climate talks (Bali last year, Poznan happening now, Copenhagen in 12 months), but the Global Day of Action has swung round once more.

If you can brave the cold, this Saturday 6 December is the one to mark in your diary and London will witness a march to Parliament Square where the likes of Nick Clegg, Caroline Lucas and George Monbiot will be speaking to the crowds. Assemble at 12 noon in Grosvenor Square, outside the US embassy, and there's also protest bike ride from Lincoln's Inn Fields at 10.30am. Further details are on the Campaign Against Climate Change website.

Of course, as it's a Global Day of Action, there are events happening right across the planet. Examine the Global Climate Campaign website to find what's happening in your country.

Thanks for the Glasgow details, chora. I was looking for other events around the country but obviously didn't look hard enough!

Glad it all turned out fine! That's the thing about taking your first step into these sort of things, you're never alone and if you can encourage other people through your own actions, even better.

If you want to get more involved, there are plenty of local networks out there working on climate change in one form or another, and of course there's probably a Greenpeace group in your area - sign up for more info if you haven't already.
