On Saturday 5 December 2009, The Wave, the UK’s biggest ever demonstration in support of action on climate change will flood the streets of central London, ahead of crucial UN climate talks in Copenhagen.
The Wave, a carnival-style street procession beginning at noon from Grosvenor Square in London, is being organised by the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition, a coalition of more than 11 million people spanning over 100 organisations, from environment and development charities to unions, faith, community and women’s groups. A stunning finale will take place at 3pm as The Wave encircles the Houses of Parliament.
Taking place just two days ahead of UN climate change talks, The Wave aims to send a strong message to the UK Government and world leaders that Copenhagen needs to deliver a strong and fair deal that protects the world’s poorest and ensures climate justice.
The Wave is already building from all corners of the UK, and Glasgow will witness a similar event on 5 December.
