Join a Multi-faith prayer vigil #LightForLima for the success of UN climate negotiations in Lima Peru at a place near you around the globe If were going to get a meaningful climate agreement next year in Paris, we need to overcome some major obstacles. This is why the climate talks in Lima, Peru, on December 1st – 12th are so important. At #LightForLima we will pray for the success of negotiations, and have inspiring pictures of lamp-lit vigils in many parts of the world to put on social media.

Contingency plan if raining heavily: meet with umbrellas under cover at Circular Quay. Contact person: Thea Ormerod [email protected] This December, as world leaders meet in Lima, our future is on the line. Time is running out for our leaders to reach an agreement to save us from devastating climate change. This is why OurVoices is organizing #LightForLIMA - a global, multi-faith prayer vigil. People from diverse faith and spiritual communities will gather for public vigils – lit by solar lamps! We want you to be involved When world leaders come together in Lima, they need to know that were holding them in our thoughts, meditations and prayers. Our prayers will bring hope. Our lights will guide the way. Why Lima? If we’re to stop climate change we need a strong meaningful climate deal which all countries agree to. Lima is where our leaders have to nail down the fundamentals of the agreement, giving a year to work on the detail so that world leaders can join the agreement in Paris December 2015. They need to know we are supporting them to be determined and generous in overcoming difficulties in Lima for the sake of our planet, and our future. The IPCC (the United Nations international panel of climate change experts) has released the most comprehensive report on climate change ever made. The conclusions are sobering - our climate is changing at a disastrous rate because of our carbon emissions. We must act now.
