22 sites in London will be targeted by climate change activists just after noon on Wednesday. The event will be coordinated from a "Climate Camp" at an undisclosed location in the city where there will be shops, toilets and daily events.
The Climate Camp – the activist group behind the week-long event – says that about 1,000 people will gather across central London before a ”mass swoop” on sites to be revealed by text messages.
Among other sites, the campaigners plan to target 12 organizations that they call the ”dirty dozen”, including the Department for Energy and Climate Change, the Department for Business Innovation and Skills, the Department for Transport, the Stock Exchange, carbon trading firm Climate Exchange and Heathrow Airport.
”The targets have been chosen because of their enormous impact on climate change because of their promotion of failed market logic like carbon trading,” says a spokes person from The Climate Camp to BBC News.
The organizers say they protest against issues ranging from the expansion of Heathrow Airport to plans for new coal-fired power stations.
