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.
The ONE Blog is a daily log of the anti-poverty movement. The site is operated by ONE staff, with frequent contributions from volunteers, members and partner organizations.
The ONE Blog updates readers daily with the latest in global development news and analysis and what ONE members and our partners are doing around the world to influence world leaders in the fight against global poverty.
The content of each post and each comment represents the views of that author and does not necessarily reflect the views of ONE or ONE Action. ONE does not support or oppose any candidate for elected office, and any post expressing support or opposition for a candidate is not endorsed by ONE.
