Whilethe international drama around the Copenhagen climate negotiations has unfolded this month, activists in Oregon have simultaneously been continuing the struggle to keep high-carbon liquefied natural gas (LNG) out of the western US...
Monthly page views since May '07 when we moved to wordpress.com. Stats calculated by wordpress. The global youth movement came to a bit of a peak this month, and IGHIH not only reflected it, we wrote it as it was happening. Just take a look at our monthly traffic over the past 3 years...
Iran is not the only place where government agencies are trying to (marginally) disrupt people advocating for change. Today, the West Virginia State Police picked up four Climate Ground Zero activists at home in Rock Creek on some old charges from October...
I probably don’t even need to provide a link to “How do I know China wrecked the Copenhagen deal? I was in the room,” Mark Lynas’s recent Guardian article that has found itself at the center of so many a post-Copenhagen conversation. Chances are you’ve read it. Just in ...
This morning I spent some time reflecting on the most memorable moments of the past decade. My own roots as a climate activist began at age 20 when I had the privilege of attending a Student Climate Summit in the Hague in November 2000...
Young clean energy & climate companions, The following is an enlightening piece from the Huffington Post by David Gershon, one of our movement’s older-in-body-but-young-at-heart visionary thinkers and author of the just-released book, Social Change 2.0, which I highly recommend you check out. ...
I spent eight weeks traveling Europe with a group of 13 AVAAZ climate activists from five different continents, organizing for a better Copenhagen. For the past three days I’ve been trying to make sense of what happened in the final moments of that journey. ...

@UNFCCC #COP15 #FAIL. You could have tweeted it before any arriving delegates strolled from their jets to their waiting limos. All that sign waving (and wow was there a lot of it!) inspired millions waving their own banners at home, but the windowless plenary wasn’t paying attention. ...
There are more people to blame for failure in Copenhagen than… sensational cliches to start blog posts with. Obama probably negotiated his ass off during his 9 hours in Denmark, but he didn’t do enough legwork beforehand to set himself up for success. Ch...
I just joined the BBC World Service for a live, hour-long program called “Copenhagen: Who is to Blame?” reflecting on the outcomes of the negotiations, including BBC’s environmental analyst, a Chinese policy specialist, WWF’s Campaign Director, India’s Vandana Shiva, and other experts (the podc...
Like many of you, I’ve spent much of the past four days trying to make sense of the repercussions and reverberations of the chaotic and dramatic final hours of COP15 in Copenhagen. How fitting then that Copenhagen concludes as the new year approaches. ...
With the exception of a few hours of shut-eye, I stayed up all Friday night to watch the last hours of the COP15 negotiations. It was absolutely gripping, shocking, heart-wrenching, inspiring and in the end came with some measure of relief...
Cross-posted from Americans for Energy Leadership In a major departure from conventional climate wisdom, Thomas Friedman argues in today’s New York Times that the UNFCCC framework is broken and should be replaced by a global competition in the clean-tech industry, which he says the United States c...
