United Nations Climate Summit
On September 20, nearly 1,200 enthusiastic and inspiring volunteers met in Central Park to participate in the Human Countdown, a massive stunt organized to show world leaders that we are ready for a fair, ambitious and binding climate treaty. The event received significant coverage in video and print media from the LA Times, BBC, Associated Press, ABC, NBC, CNN International, NPR, and Reuters, to outlets in Germany, France, Japan, Russia, Thailand and more.

On September 24 at the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh, a dozen supporters donned black and gold Steelers jerseys to depict world leaders struggling to tackle global poverty.
