Join us in >> the global movement to stop the climate crisis!

Why the number 350?
It's safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere in parts per million (ppm)

Then..where are we right now?
We are currently at approximately 390ppm. Together, we need to get back to 350ppm as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change.

On 24th of October, International Day of Climate Action
On this day, groups of people all over the world will organise an action to publicise the importance of 350ppm.
Photos of the collective actions worldwide will be sent to the world leaders in time for the Copenhagen climate treaty negotiations this December.
Together, we form a voice to call for a fair, effective and strong climate treaty to put a brake on climate change.

What will NUS be doing?
As part of NUS Fights Climate Change, SAVE will be organising a Night Photoshoot to render our support for the event!!
not only that, this will be followed movie screening on 23rd Oct 6:45pm at LT27 in conjunction with !

We will be playing "HOME" a beautifully filmed movie by Yann Arthus-Bertrand which eloquently shows us why we should be doing whatever we can to protect Earth our home. We will also invite all participants to take a photo with us in the evening to represent NUS' voice for the international movement.

Join us now to have a relaxing night on the 23rd and show your support for a safe climate!
