Are you registered for Blog Action Day ’09?
The ONE Blog just registered for this year’s Blog Action Day on Thursday… have you? The theme this year is Climate Change, and the idea is that blogs all over the world (over 6,000 at the time of this posting!) will pledge to devote space to the issue.
Here’s a short video produced by the folks at Blog Action Day explaining the event in more detail:
As you know, climate change is not a crisis of developing countries’ making, yet the impacts of global warming will disproportionately hit the world’s poorest people. ONE supports adaptation to help poor countries cope with the impact of climate change, and mitigation to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and avoid future emissions in developing countries.
So register your blog for Blog Action Day ’09 here, and check back on the ONE Blog for our contribution this Thursday.
