Millions for climate action

map

  • 2007 - 2010
  • 15 million petition signatures
Since our first climate campaign kicked off in 2007, Avaaz has delivered millions of climate petition signatures to key leaders including the environment ministers of all the G8 countries and leaders in Brazil, Germany and Japan.

Giant postcards inviting world leaders to attend the climate summit were handed over to the British Prime Minister and other delegations at the 2009 G8 summit in L'Aquila. And there were extraordinary scenes in Copenhagen as youth from around the world staged a sit-in to deliver a petition -- reading out loud the names of 15 million people who had signed demanding a fair, ambitious and binding climate deal.
