People from all walks of life are fasting to stand in solidarity with vulnerable people who are the most affected by dangerous climate impacts. By choosing not to eat on the first day of every month, a growing movement of fasters including many faith communities, youth groups and environmentalist is calling for world leaders to act to confront the climate crisis.

The Fierce Urgency of Now
In interview with Michael Enright, Mary Robinson speaks of her fears we are bringing about "a world of catastrophes over and over again. The 200 million people who may be climate-displaced - where are they going to go? There will be no country that will be immune to this. If [the planet] becomes too dangerous, it will be too dangerous for Canadians, for the children and grandchildren of those alive today.

Fasting for the Climate
Fasting for the climate is becoming a growing movement after the Philippines’ chief climate negotiator, Yeb Saño, stopped eating during the COP19 climate talks in Warsaw, Poland. Civil society, led by youth and faith groups, joined in a voluntary fast in solidarity with Saño and all those affected by Typhoon Haiyan.
Nov 11th - start of COP 19 and invitation to solidarity with the Philippines
November 11th. A day to remember the horrors of war and remember all those who have died in the past, and commit to building a world where there is peace. But how can we have peace in the future if we do not reverse climate change? Massive storms, fires and drought threaten to make huge areas of the planet uninhabitable. This day is also the first day of the Conference of the Parties (COP19) talks in Warsaw, Poland. A place where something could be done about this threat to our future.
