SING FOR THE CLIMATE

Sing For The Climate is a Belgian initiative, made possible by the goodwill of many volunteers.Sing for the Climate is a big singing manifestation that first took place on 22nd and 23rd September 2012 in Belgium. More than 80.000 people in more than 180 Belgian cities and communities sang the song "Do it Now", urging politicians to take more ambitious climate measures both on local, national and international level. This video is a synthesis of recordings that were made in all locations. The success of 'Sing for the Climate' proves that a mass mobilization around climate change is still possible.

But Belgium is a small country and climate change is global problem, which needs to be tackled on an international level. Therefore, many local groups and organizations worldwide have joined and organized their own version of Sing for the Climate.

Karaoke version

In countries and in cities, 401.099 people already sang ‘Do it now’!
