Join our remote climate strike, fill in this form and share it with your family, friends and colleagues, both young and old.
As our strike is virtual we can go anywhere. The idea is to go to places that we consider symbolic or iconic in our fight against global warming and the ecological crisis.
Optionally, tell us why you selected a certain location and/or share a photoshopped picture of yourself and family, friends or colleagues on that location.
You can find additional information about the locations and why they are important to our fight at the bottom of this page.
The Amazon rainforest with its enormous richness in living species was long seen as the green lungs of our planet because its capacity to produce oxygen while at the same removing carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere. The Amazon forest is increasingly under tread and some parts of it have already become net emitters of CO2 especially due to deforestation.

The Antarctic ice sheet was long believed to be stable and invulnerable to global warming. However, over the last decades it has become clear that the huge ice cap is also sensitive to climate change, especially the West-Antarctic ice sheet. Its response to warmer ocean temperatures is currently one of the largest uncertainties in the models that we use to predict global sea-level rise. From geological observations we know that in the past, Antarctica has contributed several metres of sea level rise in climates similar to today. Photo: Break-up Larsen-C ice shelf.

Africa is very vulnerable to global warming, but the effects are diverse, ranging from intensified cyclones to droughts and heat waves. This is unfair as Africa is the least responsible for the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming and yet suffers from some of the worst effects of the climate changes and the weather extremes associated with it. We selected the town of Graaff-Reinet in South Africa as symbolic example, where it did not rain for over 5 years. Photo: Graaff-Reinet. Source: michael clarke stuff / CC BY-SA 2.0 
The iconic Great Barrier reef is the largest reef on Earth and stretches for over more than 2300 kilometers along the coast of North-East Australia. However, its future looks bleak and has recently been downgraded from poor to very poor. The reef has experienced several major coral bleaching events as a consequence of warm sea surface temperatures that led to coral dying of entire sections of the reef. As an alternative, the less well known but equally beautiful and less affected Ningaloo Reef in North-West Australia can be visited. Photo: Long-fin Batfish in Coral Bay, Western Australia.

Kiribati and Tuvalu are the first countries that may disappear as a consequence of climate change and associated sea-level rise. People from Kiribati and Tuvalu sought refugee status based on the effect of climate change in Australia and New Zealand, but these cases were turned down before a Tuvalu family was accepted as the first climate refuges although on humanitarian grounds. A complicating factor in this discussion is how such islands being dynamic systems will respond to sea level rise. However, sea level rise is not only threatening these islands, but also low lying areas around the world, especially at tropical latitudes.

Yamal pensinsula is home to the Nenets, Khanty and Selkup indigenous people and a key producer of oil and gas. The area experiences warming much faster than other areas in the world, mainly due to polar amplification. This leads to permafrost melting, which not only leads to land instability and greenhouse gas emission, but also resulted in an anthrax outbreak that was traced back to a reindeer carcass exposed from the permafrost. Inuit people in the Arctic areas of North America experience similar problems. Photo: Nenets woman in front of their typical tent, the chum, in the Polar Ural just outside the peninsula.
