19 August 2010: Thousands get to work on climate change – 350 Aotearoa launches the Global Climate Working Bee. Read here.

350 Aotearoa is part of an international campaign to unite the world around solutions to climate change. Our mission is to inspire climate action in communities across New Zealand.
350 parts per million (ppm) is, according to leading climate scientists, the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Accelerating arctic warming and other early climate impacts have led scientists to conclude that we are already above the safe zone at our current 392ppm. The 350 campaign is focused on making the connections between our actions and climate change easier to understand so we can turn this around.

10/10/10 is the 350 Global Climate Working Bee. Thousands of groups across New Zealand, and in over 180 countries, will join together and get to work on climate change. From holding a tree planting day to installing solar hot water heating on local buildings, we’ll be sending a call to leaders that they have our support in getting us back to 350ppm.
