We, the participants of "Be The Movement", a global forum organized by the University of Warsaw and Connect4Climate on this day, November 20, 2013, jointly and solemnly declare:

1. We are fully aware that climate change is a dangerous threat not just to our generation, but to our sons and daughters, and all future generations.

2. We and all our fellow citizens on Earth have a duty to tackle the climate change emergency right now and to change our life styles accordingly.

3. While respecting diverse opinions, we should come together to reinforce our common potential and drive collective action to conserve the environment.

4. We expect that:

– Researchers will provide us with objective data and seek innovative solutions for climate change,

– Educators will assist us in passing on knowledge and awareness to students,

– Local governments will support our activities to make sure our communities continue to be liveable and vital,

– The private sector will commit to including climate change considerations in all its business planning,

– The media will impartially report all information to raise awareness and encourage open discussion,

– National governments will create legislation to enable greater conservation of our planet and its climate.

5. Whatever sacrifices we have to make now, we firmly believe our passion for this movement will spur global action to secure better livelihoods for humankind.

         6. We will 'Be The Movement'! Right here, right now, together!
