Everything is set for People's climate march to be held on September 21, 2014. Activists are hoping thousands of people will support the climate march and make it biggest climate march in history. The motive of the march is to put pressure on world leaders to think harder about global warming.
Ban Ki-moon, eighth and current Secretary-General of the United Nations, has organized a New York summit on climate change. Heads of state will join the summit on September 23. After a failed landmark Copenhagen summit in 2009, this would be the first time world leaders will come together to discuss climate change.
At a conference in Paris, Ban Ki-moon said that the meeting will provide the needed push to strengthen measures for cutting greenhouse gas emissions by the end of 2015.
According to one of the organizers of the People's Climate March on September 21 and executive director of digital campaign group Avaaz, Ricken Patel, said that the march is planned to send signal to those leaders, who are thinking to include Barack Obama and David Cameron in the summit on September 23 and not heads of state from India and China.
Patel also said that he is expecting more than a hundred thousand people at the New York march. Apart from that, many organizations have committed to support the march.
He said, "There's a very strong range and diversity of people from all walks of life, including immigrant rights groups, social justice groups. Whoever you are and wherever you are, climate change threatens us all so it brings us together".
According to Patel, about 400,000 people have said to attend one of the global events that include marches in Paris, Berlin, Delhi, Melbourne and Rio. These people have signed a call on Avaaz's website.
