Children in Tanzania are Singing for the Earth
Footage of children from around the world will be included into the sing film to be shown to the UN to reach the hearts of as many world leaders as possible and represent the interests of children around the world. Thank you to David and everyone involved in the Tanzania Sing event. Please feel free to send us photographs or film of your children from around the world to include in our campaign.
Singing for the Earth at the UN climate talks
The UN and climate negotiators from around the world watched the Sing for the Earth film in June. Many were very moved by the film and have encouraged us to develop and expand the film and show it to other climate decision makers.
The film was seen by delegates from Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, EU, Germany, India, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Kenya, Nepal, Norway, Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, Togo, Turkey, Uganda, UK, USA, UNEP and the UNFCCC secretariat. It was shown to national representatives, NGOs, scientists, modellers, press and at two side events. Additionally, photographs of children holding the earth were posted on boards in the conference centre.

It is a youth lead movements which is united with youth groups across the world, working in novel and energetic ways to create solutions and momentum for a safe climate future.
Delivering the Sing for the Earth video to the UK Prime Minister
The Sing for the Earth film was handed in to the Prime Minister's office during the 2008 climate change negotiations. We were warmly welcomed by the police and staff at No 10 and fortunate enough to bump into Mrs Darling, the wife of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mrs Darling greeted us openly and spoke freely with the children and parents about climate change. She mentioned that she will show the film to the Chancellor that night ! We also left copies of the video and a covering letter for the Prime Minister, Mr Miliband and the wider Cabinet. We are delighted and so very grateful for this opportunity to share our message.
