Why we need a global climate movement now
Saturday, den 25. April 2009
In an interview with Yale Environment 360 (Yale360), Bill McKibben explains why he’s now focused on organizing a citizens movement around climate change — and why he believes this effort is critical for spurring world leaders into action.
Author Bill McKibben first warned about global warming and its implications for the planet in his 1989 book, The End of Nature. But in the last few years, it has become the focus of his work as an organizer of 350.org, an advocacy organization promoting global action to tackle climate change. A global citizens movement on global climate action is urgently needed to push for an effective climate treaty this December in Copenhagen.
Here in Germany, we are trying to get Bill - also a fantastic public speaker - to give a talk in Berlin in June; if anybody wants to help arrange his visit, then please contact us.
