This is the third edition of Moving for Climate NOW, an initiative to create awareness at the international level on the importance of acting now against climate change. It is also the story of a journey: one undertaken by a group of experts, on electric bicycles, to deliver a message on the urgency of uniting to combat climate change to the Climate Summit (COP24), held during 2018 in Katowice, Poland.
The Moving for Climate NOW manifesto presents the principles that guide the initiative and our contribution to the facilitative Talanoa Dialogue, created at the 2017 Climate Summit as a discussion forum involving governments and civil society to assess progress in the fight against climate change. M4CN wishes to contribute to this Dialogue with a proposal that addresses the three questions raised: Where are we? where do we want to go? and how do we get there?
Meet the Team
We present the people from different organisations and countries who form the committed team of cyclists that have pedalled for the climate.
The Route
Our cycling team has covered a distance of more than 600 km over seven stages, during which it has visited three countries: Austria, the Czech Republic and Poland. Departing from Vienna on November 26, it finally reached his goal on December 2: Katowice; host city of Climate Summit COP24, where we have delivered our Manifesto of urgent action against climate change.
After completing our cycling route and the conclusion of COP24, we are proud to have delivered our message on the urgency to act together against climate change, showing the importance of building alliances to reach our objectives. If you have missed the details of this exciting adventure, we encourage you to check our Route Diary.

M4CN: Previous Editions
Moving for Climate NOW has celebrated its third consecutive edition in 2018. After a first experience from Bilbao to the COP21 in Paris organized by employees of Iberdrola (Just2Challenge), in 2016 we pedalled for the first time under the motto Moving for Climate NOW with Spanish Network of the United Nations Global Compact and Iberdrola. The route took us from Seville to COP22 in Marrakech and a year later we went from Paris to the COP23 in Bonn. In 2018 it was the turn of the COP24 in Katowice.
