Join the 350 movement On October 24, 2009, in thousands of settings around the world, people engaged in an international day of climate action. With the coordination of 350.org, local events joined in a call for climate health and a reduction of greenhouse gasses to the level of 350 ppm. 350.org is continuing to cordinate movement-building and advocacy efforts.
