Greenpeace is asking developed nations to commit to substantial carbon emissions reductions and to set up a climate change mitigation fund for countries like the Philippines that are most vulnerable, least prepared. The advocacy ride was organized by Greenpeace, Solar Generation Pilipinas, and Responsible Ilonggos for Sustainable Energy (RISE).Locations:Iloilo-Iloilo City-Philippines-Southeast AsiaDate:29 Aug, 2009Credit:© Greenpeace / Raphael RiosMaximum size:3000px X 2001pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Balloons-Bicycles-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Earth (planet)-KWCI (GPI)-Men-Outdoors-Props-Public engagementShoot:Climate Bike Ride in Iloilo in PhilippinesGreenpeace issued a warning as civil society and environment groups worldwide mark the 100-day countdown to the anticipated Copenhagen Climate Summit in December. To mark the occasion, Greenpeace organized the Iloilo launch of “YoU turn the Earth”—a series of high profile public activities to raise awareness on climate change and its solutions. The event in Iloilo’s capital highlights the province’s vulnerability to the worst onslaught of climate change, particularly massive floods caused by extreme weather such as Iloilo’s devastating experience with Typhoon Frank last year.
