The group pedaled from the Makati City Hall to the European Commission Delegation and to the U.S. Embassy last Tuesday, September 8, to deliver letters urging world leaders to sign a global deal for carbon emissions reductions and for a climate change adaptation and mitigation fund for vulnerable countries, during the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit this December.Locations:Luzon-Makati-Philippines-Southeast AsiaDate:8 Sep, 2009Credit:© Greenpeace / Jimmy DomingoMaximum size:3000px X 1950pxKeywords:Banners-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Direct communications-KWCI (GPI)-Men-Organisations-Outdoors-Politicians-Public engagement-tcktcktck (campaign title)-WomenShoot:Climate GCCA Bike Ride Makati-ManilaAn unprecedented global alliance of civil society organizations, trade unions, faith groups and other organizations concerned with climate change, made its local presence known by mounting, together with the City of Makati, a bike tour for the climate. The tour ended at the US Embassy, in a symbolic bid to pressure the US to take the lead in signing a global deal during the Climate Change Summit this December, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The US, considered the highest carbon emitter in history, is expected to set an example for other countries in committing to substantial reductions in carbon emissions, and to set up a global fund for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
