5 Day Ride from London to the COP21
CYCLING, CONNECTING, SHARING AND ORGANISING FOR OUR TIME IN PARIS
We rode from London to Paris over the course of five days. We connected with other cyclists at each step of the ride, skill-shared through workshops, formed teams, and organised towards our time in Paris. As messengers we carried stories of hope from our communities, and displayed them loud and clear at the COP. 125 of us rode for climate justice and a livable planet!
Science has proven that human activity is causing changes in our climate. In December 2015, head of states gathered for their 21st COP (Conference of the Parties) to deal with this issue. Alas, no valid agreement came out of the negotiations to prevent further catastrophic disasters. We knew that unfortunately this would be the case. The 20 previous years of climate talks had taught us that we could no longer depend on the negotiators to make the right decisions, which is why we stood up and acted for what we believe in..."Justice Climatique!"
