The Campaign against Climate Change (UK) and the Call to Action (Jordan) are proud to have presented our first event in Jordan (2007) "Global Climate Campaign -Call to Action Fest2007, Jo" and hope to continue this annual tradition of spreading public awareness concerning environmental issues we are all facing.

Coinciding with the UN Climate Talks (MOP 3, COP 13), the Campaign Against Climate Change (UK) intends to synchronise an International Action Day Against Climate Change -in as many countries as possible- on December 6th, 2008 to call on world leaders to push for the urgent and radical action on climate change. Up till now more than 70 countries!

This year, Call to Action Jordan is proud to further collaborate with th EarthDay Network (US) and bring to you the" EarthDay Fair 2008, Jordan".

Earth Day, April 22 , is widely celebrated around the world, as a collective expression of public will to create a sustainable society. Earth Day activities educate and mobilize people worldwide for environmental protection. It inspires action on personal, community, national and international levels. Events are often scheduled for the weekends before or after April 22. The Network includes over 15,000 partners in 174 countries.
