Climate action organization 350.org and allies are calling for a global mobilization on the weekend before the talks open to put heads of state on notice that "the entire world expects them to take nothing less than dramatic action to shut down the fossil fuel industry and build the renewable energy we need."
We are deeply saddened by the recent violence in Paris. 350.org reported that all 350 staff in Paris are OK. The UN said that the global climate talks will proceed as scheduled and 350.org issued a statement on November 16 calling on all of us to continue our action plans for the last weekend in November. You can read the statement here.
