OR
2) You can look out for the LINE banner, placards and stall anytime after 11am, at our second meeting point. We cannot give a set place for this, as this will depend on restrictions on the day! So look out for the LINE logo on our banner/placards etc or ask around, if you're still unable to find us. The earlier you arrive before the big crowds get there, the easier it'll be. Either way, good luck and we hope to see you there!
Coinciding with the UN Climate Talks (MOP 3, COP 13) in Bali, Indonesia, from the 3rd to the 14th December 2007
From: www.globalclimatecampaign.org
We intend synchronised demonstrations around the world on Saturday December 8th 2007 - in as many places as possible - to call on world leaders to take urgent action on climate change.
The 'Call to Action' for these demonstrations and related events that will take place on December 8th 2007 is as follows :
"We demand that world leaders take the urgent and resolute action that is needed to prevent the catastrophic destabilisation of global climate, so that the entire world can move as rapidly as possible to a stronger emissions reductions treaty which is both equitable and effective in preventing dangerous climate change.
We also demand that the long-industrialised countries that have emitted most greenhouse gases up to now take most of the responsibility for the adaptive measures that have to be taken, especially by low-emitting countries with limited economic resources."
