Recognize the International Day of Climate Action and 'Seal the Deal'

Today, on the International Day of Climate Action, hundreds of thousands of people from all over the planet take a stand for our future.

More than 4,000 events are being carried out in 177 countries, with the goal raising awareness about climate change and the necessity to do something about it, now.

The time is now for action. Join us by the simple act of signing the above United Nations Seal the Deal petition. The UN-led Seal the Deal campaign aims to galvanize political will and public support for reaching a comprehensive global climate agreement in Copenhagen in December.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is partnering with Seal the Deal to highlight the importance of a fair and equitable deal for climate change. You will be able to find a wealth of interesting stories related to climate change at our Climate Centre web site (climatecentre.org) as well as its impact on humanity on this blog.

We also want to hear from you. Tell us what you are doing to address climate change and join thousands of others on our Facebook page, making their move to make the world a better place.
