WYFSD has joined forces with an American organisation called 350.org, they are doing amazing work internationally, all based on the number 350.

Basically, the international community needs to be limiting our CO2 output to 350 parts per million of CO2, rather than the current 388, which is projected to rise to 450ppm in the near future. If we hit 450ppm there’s a 78% we will exceed 2 degrees temperature rise, by doing that (rather than stabilising at 1.5 degrees C) we sign the death sentence of a lot of small island nations across the world. I think Indonesia has some 80,000 islands! Half of them would be wiped out……

So, we have become an allie of 350 because we want to help spread the word, and we are going to organise actions across Wales for the Global day of action on the 24th of October.

Want to know more?

we’ll keep you posted about our actions planned in Wales, in the meantime, if you want to help out, email info@wyfsd.org
