Tens of thousands of people around the world will mobilise over the weekend of 8-9 September under the banner of Rise for Climate, a grassroots movement seeking a fossil fuel free world.
More than 600 events are planned in at least 80 countries, with one of the key aims to challenge the decision-makers attending the Global Climate Summit in California on 12 September to escalate decarbonisation efforts and targets.
As well as a flagship event in San Fransisco which the organisers say will be the largest climate march the US west coast has ever seen, community groups are finding innovative ways to urge a future in which all energy sources are 100% renewable, including an initiative asking participants to share artworks related to the movement.
We would like to hear from you if you are taking part in any of the events or involved in organising where you live, and will highlight some of your contributions in our coverage. You can also share pictures and stories from the events you attend.
Rise For Climate’s website has an interactive map can search for events near you.
