Here comes the Wave...

Only a few days remain before the Copenhagen climate jamboree begins. Delegates, lobbyists, activists and observers are already congregating in the Danish capital to well and truly chew the fat and I'm heading off myself tomorrow afternoon. Keep an eye on this blog for ongoing updates - it's going to be interesting to say the least.

But that does mean I'll miss the sight of thousands of people sweeping through the streets of London this Saturday 5 December when they take part in the Wave. Part of an ongoing series of actions and protests around the world, it will demonstrate how many people want to see our government play its part in delivering a safe climate future for us all.

The dress code is blue, and the aim is to encircle the Houses of Parliament in a swathe of cyan, aquamarine and eggshell. There's also a sister event in Glasgow so if you're north of the border head on over there.

Full details are on the Wave website, along with other ideas about how you can get involved even if you can't make it on the day. And there's still time to add your contribution to the video Mexican wave.

In the meantime, the recent Rainbow Warrioir visit was an excellent opportunity to get some pre-Wave enthusiasm going and you can see the results in the slideshows above and below.
