On Saturday 5 December, people from across Scotland will come together to send a clear message about climate change to world leaders, meeting in Copenhagen for the UN climate change negotiations.
It is anticipated that this will be the largest ever demonstration in support of action on climate change in Scotland.
Scotland’s recently passed climate change law, the Climate Change (Scotland) Act, is the strongest in the world. It could help to set an example of what needs to be done and establish trust from developing countries that are concerned that rich countries are not doing enough to prevent runaway climate change.
The Wave will be a fun, family-friendly march in Glasgow city centre, where a diverse range of people can come together to show their concern about climate change. Similar demonstrations will be taking place across the world at this time. In order to demonstrate that this issue is important to Scotland, we need as many people as possible to turn out on the streets of Glasgow on 5 December.
People from across Scotland have a key role to play in The Wave. As well as coming to the event on 5 December, you can spread the word to your networks and contacts to help ensure that as many people as possible will be there.
The event is being organised by Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, a coalition of around 60 organisations campaigning on climate change, including the National Trust for Scotland. Together we represent over two million supporters in Scotland.
Join us in Glasgow to ensure that Scotland makes its voice heard and positively influences the UK government – who will be representing us at Copenhagen – to secure a global deal to avoid catastrophic climate change.
