Join The Wave8 September 2009
Join The Wave - the UK's biggest ever march for action on climate change.
On Saturday 5 December 2009 tens of thousands of people will flow through the streets of London. People from all walks of life will demonstrate their support for a safe climate future for everyone.
Ways to The Wave
There are lots of great ways to get involved and join The Wave from all around the country. Find out more.
Key moment
The Wave comes ahead of important international climate talks in Copenhagen. World leaders will meet between 7-18 December to decide how to tackle climate change.
They must deliver a fair deal that protects the poorest and most vulnerable people. Together we can inspire our Government to:
- Quit dirty coal
- Build a green economy
- Protect the world's poorest and most vulnerable communities.
The Wave is organised by the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition - 11 million strong and representing over 100 organisations.
Paint it blue
On Saturday 5 December we'll be donning something blue, heading to central London and flooding the streets.
The climax will be as Big Ben chimes 3pm when a wave of blue will flow through the people circling parliament.
What's the plan?
The Wave will start in central London at 12 noon and there will be a rally whilst people assemble.
It will then move towards Westminster via Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and 10 Downing Street before encircling Parliament.
The Wave will then pass over Westminster Bridge and disperse. You can see a map of the route here.
What you can do
From June, you can play a critical role in making this happen by getting people to join The Wave. Making waves about the march will help put pressure on decision makers.
Stop Climate Chaos have put together some fun activities to help you get friends, family and neighbours to join in and vote with their feet in London. Read the action pack.
