Thousands of climate change marches and events will take place on the 8th September around the world as part of the Rise for Climate day. The Global Shapers Cambridge Hub (Global Shapers is an initiative of the World Economic Forum) is organizing a world initiative to join the movement.

We want that all the world speaks and creates on a democratic and representative way 17 individual sustainable development goals that can be adopted by anyone to fight against climate change.

STEPS TO TAKE ACTION:

• On 8th September, tweet about a simple action that anyone could personally do in order to tackle climate change. Pictures are welcome!

• In the same tweet, challenge and tag someone else.

• As a hashtag, ONLY USE #shapers4climate. It will be the hashtag for the initiative. This is very important as the Cambridge Hub will be tracking tweets and share with you a report with the best 17 individual sustainable goals of the year!

• IMPORTANT: Please ONLY USE #shapers4climate as hashtag to create the trend. Handles like @greatorganization, Climate Reality, and We Don’t Have Time, World Economic Forum are very welcome and encouraged to maximize visibility!

• Any organization that supports the movement will be acknowledged in the document containing the 17 individual sustainable development goals, which will be distributed among millions of people.

EXAMPLES:

“I pledge to use a metallic foldable cup instead of plastic cups. @Greatshaper what would be your climate pledge for 2018? #shapers4climate @greatorganization, Climate Reality, and We Don’t Have Time, World Economic Forum”

“I pledge not to use plastic straws. If I need one, I will use a reusable metallic or a bamboo one. @Greatshaper what would be your climate pledge for 2018? #shapers4climate @greatorganization, Climate Reality, and We Don’t Have Time, World Economic Forum”

“I pledge to use my own carry bag for shopping every day. @Greatshaper what would be your climate pledge for 2018? #shapers4climate @greatorganization, Climate Reality, and We Don’t Have Time, World Economic Forum”

The movement starts at 00:00 GMT September 8th 2018 and will last for 24 h only. We aim to have at least half million tweets to shape the goals. Pretty exciting, right?

Get ready and spread the word, we are the last generation that can do something to save ourselves from climate change. The opportunity to shape our future starts very soon!
