Churches in Copenhagen prepares to let the Climatebells ring


In ten months a new climate treaty will signed in Copenhagen. Ten months is not very long time and it seems that the world have lost the pace to face the challenges that we stand in front of. Technical solutions and political decisions is needed and at reach but the urgency is sometimes seems to be put in the background of the agenda.
Faiths of the world needs to take a step forward and remind everyone of the justice aspect of climate change and the need to change to a more just and sharing low carbon society.
For that we need to get the CO2 equivalents under 350 ppm again.
So, don't be surprised if all the churches in Denmark will toll the bells 350 times on the 13th of December in the afternoon. And maybe also the church bells in Norway and Sweden also will ring out the warning and the urgency to act. And maybe more churches around Europe and the world could take part in this symbolic action.

State of the world


World Watch Institute
reports the state of the world. And the message is as clear as it can be. We have some serious issues to deal with and the world has to face the real challenge of climate change. At the same time there are so many possibilities to change track to sustainability. There are reasons to be concerned but there is also reasons to believe that we can overcome the threats of climate change. But it is not about tomorrow, it is about now
