Poznan- Following up on the World Silent Day (WSD) campaign that was initiated at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 13 UNFCCC) in Bali last year, the WSD sent two representatives to the COP 14 UNFCCC in Poznan, Poland on 1-12 December 2008. Agung Wardana (from Walhi Bali) dan Hira Jhamtani (BOA) were assigned with the task to remind UNFCCC participants about the WSD campaign as part of the solution to climate change and to strengthen international support for the campaign.
The World Silent Day campaign is based on the Balinese tradition of 24 hours of inactivity to rejuvenate humans and give the earth one of rest from the onslaught of human activities. This tradition is offered to the global community as a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emission.
