global campaign on climate action bike ride


Makati City, Philippines. 08 September 2009. Bikers from Makati City and from GCCA member organizations Christian Aid, WWF, NGO Forum on the ADB, Green Renewable Independent Power Producers (GRIPP), Oxfam, and Greenpeace then pedaled off, accompanied by a couple of Electric Jeepneys (E-Jeeps) from GRIPP, to deliver the Countdown to Copenhagen calendars and letters of urgency containing the Copenhagen call, emphasizing the role of industrialized countries in the ongoing negotiations by making stops at the European Commission Delegation office and at the US Embassy. The tour ended at the US Embassy, in a symbolic bid to pressure the US to take the lead in signing a global deal during the Climate Change Summit this December, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The US, considered the highest carbon emitter in history, is expected to set an example for other countries in committing to substantial reductions in carbon emissions, and to set up a global fund for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
