There is a global call for a World Climate March to raise pressure and ambition around the crucial upcoming COP26 talks through a symbolic 2,000-step walk or 1.5 kilometers representing the 1.5-degree Celsius limit targets.
The Panatang Luntian coalition will answer this call with a Philippine Climate March to dramatize the Filipino people’s particular demands especially in the context of the upcoming national elections.
The Philippine Climate March is a nationwide asynchronous walk to demonstrate a groundswell of support for a just and green recovery program amidst the worsening pandemic and climate crises. A central physically distanced march will be held in Quezon City, while decentralized individual or small group-level walks will be crowd-sourced across the country.
Participants will walk a minimum of 2,000 steps, equivalent to 1.5 kilometers that symbolizes the 1.5-degree warming limit target. Participants will register online for organizers to tally the steps.
To visualize the demands of the action, marchers will be wearing uniform dri-fit statement shirts, and will be brandishing the Panatang Luntian gesture to demonstrate the collective endorsement of the 10-point recovery agenda for the upcoming national elections.
Our Objectives
1. Have at least 100 participants in the on ground action
2. Have at least 500 viewers of the online livestream
3. Reach the Top 10 trends in the Philippines for the hashtag party
