Climate Safety: roadmap to decarbonisation

In 2007, the UN’s emergency relief coordinator Sir John Holmes reported that 12 of the 13 major relief operations that year had been climate-related. This amounted to what he called a climate change “mega-disaster.”

The Zero Carbon Caravan (ZCC) will generate a mass movement of individuals and organisations to carry the message of action on climate change to the UNFCCC talks in Copenhagen (2009).

We are making our way to Copenhagen without using fossil fuel transportation. Along the route we'll connect with local groups to establish an itinerary of ‘zero carbon conferences’ to build momentum for zero carbon awareness.

The ZCC will act as a coordinating hub for other ‘caravanning’ groups, encouraging worldwide participation to demand of the UNFCCC our mission: ‘A zero carbon world, as fast as we can’.
