ABOUT ACTION/2015
action/2015 is a growing citizens’ movement of nearly 1000 organizations around the world coming together to demand truly ambitious agreements on poverty, inequalities and climate change in 2015. From Mali to Mexico, Senegal to Sri Lanka, Uganda to the UK – people from every region of the world are coming together as action/2015. The movement is made up of the many individuals, organizations, and diverse groups that are united among the common belief that the decisions taken in 2015 are critical for the future for people and the planet.
action/2015 is calling on the public to join them in their calls to ensure world leaders commit to a better world. Throughout 2015, the campaign will provide ways for everyone everywhere to get involved in influencing the outcomes of these global debates that could achieve:
– An end to poverty in all its forms;
– The meeting of fundamental rights, tackling inequality and discrimination;
– An accelerated transition to 100% renewable energy;
– A world where everyone can participate and hold their leaders accountable.
As part of the launch, activities are taking place in more than 50 countries all around the world on Thursday from Lebanon and Liberia to Nigeria and Norway to South Africa and Sri Lanka. Many of these are spearheaded by 15 year olds – a constituency who will be among the most affected by the agreements.
