Last year was full of highs and lows for climate change campaigning. We mobilised millions around the world in support of a global climate change deal, over one hundred thousand people took action in the UK with Oxfam and yet Copenhagen did not deliver. So we\u2019re asking you, the people who make the campaign happen, how should we take the climate change campaign forward<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Before we do lets have a quick whiz through some of last year\u2019s big moments. From Dhaka to Doncaster, over 1.5 million people took part in our climate hearings<\/a>. Then there was the summer fete at the Kingsnorth power station in Kent.<\/p>\n

And Oxfam supporters really made some noise. Anna Collins<\/a>, volunteered for the \u2018Adopt a Negotiatior<\/a>\u2019 project, she \u2018adopted\u2019 (tracked, met with and held accountable) Jan Thompson the lead climate change negotiator for the UK. They became quite friendly through the negotiation process. Jan assured her in the final couple of days [sic] \u201cI promise we\u2019re still really trying\u201d. Before rushing off to keep trying.<\/p>\n

For many of us the year culminated in the largest climate change demonstration this country has ever seen. 50,000 people made up \u2018The Wave<\/a>\u2018 as it flowed through London.<\/p>\n

Charli Livingstone<\/a>, the Midlands activist who cycled to The Wave from Birmingham<\/a>, met the Prime Minister that afternoon. \u2018The PM made it clear to me that he recognised the deal that we wanted and he said that he was going to Copenhagen with the aim of getting it for us. He didn\u2019t get us our deal but I know one thing for sure; the movement for a fair, adequate and binding deal isn\u2019t going away.\u2019<\/p>\n

So we need to make sure that this year is even bigger, even better and even louder. Maybe there\u2019s something we should be doing more of? Or something we haven\u2019t thought of? Let us know, we\u2019re all ears:<\/p>\n

What do you think Oxfam and our supporters should do to make even more noise this year<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Should we focus on getting supporters to send specific one-off email actions? Should we put money into advertising and spread the word that way? What about producing educational materials for schools, colleges and the like? Or should we become a group of moles and infiltrate online message boards and spaces, taking the arguments to the darkest recesses of the internet? Something else?<\/p>\n
