“tcktcktck is a global movement for a unified voice against climate change. The combined efforts of millions of people, including you, and our member organisations will deliver a clear message that we demand meaningful leadership and action against climate change"
This new campaign is supported by partners including WWF, Oxfam and the Global Humanitarian Forum. It aims to create a unified voice in the run up to Copenhagen and has the backing of Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon who was in New York recently where he announced that the city will host a Climate Week from September 21st - 25th 2009. Speaking in New York he said:
"We are here for one reason: to push for urgent action on climate change from world leaders, from civic leaders and from everyone. Every citizen of the world. Including New York City. Climate change is the greatest challenge facing this and future generations".
Public support for action at the Copenhagen talks in December needs to be visible - hence the growing number of online campaigns like tck tck tck - by signing up we can all show that we demand ambitious, significant and binding outcomes from the climate negotiations
tck tck tck puts environmental justice and human rights at the forefront and declares that If we all stand up, our leaders will stand
up for us. I hope so, the clock is ticking...
Thanks for the write-up! We're going to have a much more robust site up and running in the coming weeks. In the meantime, feel free to follow us on the Twitter at @tcktcktck or the Facebook at Facebook.com/tcktcktck.
