Roz Savage, along with five other women, set off on foot today (November 20) from London heading to Copenhagen for the climate negotiations that begin in under 20 days. The group are walking from Big Ben in London to Brussels, before joining the ‘climate express’ train to Copenhagen.

 

Ms Savage, the British ocean rower who rowed solo 3,000 miles across the Pacific from Hawaii to Kiribati earlier this year, said she was taking the journey by foot because 'Copenhagen is an unparalleled opportunity to show that people care about climate change and for global leaders to take decisive action on climate.'

 

During the walk the group will gather signatures on inflatable 'Earth Balls', to be delivered to the conference as a petition calling on the delegates to take decisive action on climate change.

 

Ms Savage said 'For two weeks the attention of the world will be on climate change'. On her message to world leaders negotiating in Copenhagen, she urged ‘let’s see some decisive action’.
