As civil society groups take to the streets in record numbers for the People’s Climate March later this month, we’re joining them! Adding our voices in a Global #Call4Climate Action. Activists around the world will flood the media with blogs, articles and op-eds all about what climate change means to us and why this moment is an essential step in safeguarding our future.

Our next Climate Tracker Skill-up will help equip you with what you need to join our Global #Call4Climate Action. You’ll get:

An overview of the political context
& the push for a new global climate treaty
Alden Meyer, Director of Strategy and Policy for the Union of Concerned Scientists, will share where this moment fits along the road to a new global climate treaty and what specifically we might expect at the UN Climate Leaders Summit, just days after the mobilization.

*Due to technical difficulties during the call, part of Alden Meyer’s presentation on the political context is inaudible. To supplement, please check out this recent press call by WRI, which covers much of the same news and analysis.

Updates on the People’s Climate March
in New York before the UN Climate Leaders Summit
Johanna Leffler, Senior Advisor at our parent organization, the Global Call for Climate Action, will talk about how civil society can leverage big moments like this summit can spur political action, grow the movement & shape public debates about climate challenges and solutions.
