Overall targets

The “Act now! Climate Justice and Global Solidarity” campaign is a collaborative effort to create new opportunities for engagement and shared solutions for global climate justice through informational materials, local educational events, the activation of new climate activists across Denmark, and major public demonstrations focused on climate justice and development partnerships.

Immediate targets

To create new opportunities for engagement and shared solutions for global justice in partnership between activists and affected communities in Danmark and the Global South, through (1) education & communications campaign on global climate justice principles, (2) training of new leaders and planting of local groups, and (3) public action for global climate accountability and solidarity.

Target groups

Our shared campaign in Denmark targets existing supporters, activists, and leaders in 350 Klimabevægelsen’s individual organizations, as well as seeking to fuel the growth of each to reach new, currently passive observers with relation to climate and development issues. 350 Klimabevægelsens overall target group is climate justice-oriented Danes over the age of 11. Through our program activities, we anticipate reaching 7.500 supports who take an endorsing action, 600 activists who make ongoing contributions to the project, and 100 new leaders who take ownership over the campaign and lead events,

Resume

The “Act now! Climate Justice and Global Solidarity” campaign is a collaborative effort to create new opportunities for engagement and shared solutions through the green development and aid organization CARE Danmark and 350 Klimabevægelsen i Danmark, together with our Nairobi-based partner network, Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), which represents more than 1,000 member organizations across 48 countries. The project has three main components: (1) education & communications campaign on global climate justice principles, (2) training of new leaders and planting of local groups, and (3) public action for global climate accountability and solidarity. We use an array of interlocking strategies to introduce thousands of Danes to the role of development partnerships in securing climate justice, engage 7.500 of them in creating shared solutions with their neighbors and voices from developing countries, and developing 600 leaders in Denmark who will lead advocacy in their hometowns.
