Organizers of the People’s Climate March are confident that the sheer scale and diversity of the events worldwide, from the headline demonstration in New York City to the simultaneous events around the globe, will show politicians that there is a massive, energized movement demanding immediate action to address the climate crisis.

In New York City, the message will be difficult to ignore: Marcher organizers have come to an agreement with the NYPD for their route to flow directly through the middle of Manhattan. The march will begin at Columbus Circle at 11:30am on Sunday, and proceed on 59th Street to 6th Avenue, down 6th Avenue to 42nd Street, then right on 42nd Street to 11th Avenue. The route passes some of New York City’s most famous landmarks, from Rockefeller Center to Times Square.

The march and the UN Climate Summit in New York mark the beginning of a busy 18 months of crucial international negotiations. Climate negotiators will head to Lima, Peru, in December 2014 to make progress towards a global climate deal. Then, in September 2015 world leaders will meet back in New York to adopt the Sustainable Development Goals, the global post-2015 development agenda. Three months later, the world will gather in Paris to try and sign a new international climate treaty.

For more information on The Peoples Climate March and to join the Sustainable Wellesley bus, please contact Sustainable Wellesley soon as seats are filling up.

Thanks!
