Largest Climate Change March in New York - Blythe Taylor 3rd

                                                      
           Sunday the 21st of September, commenced the largest ever climate change march in history in New York City. The "People's Climate March" started at 11:30 a.m. on the Upper West Side along Central Park and ended 2-miles down through midtown Manhattan.
          The marchers, many who wore vivid colors, were led by native groups from around the world. Organizers say many of these people are the first victims of climate change.
           The People's Climate March and the summit are part of Climate Week NYC, which is an annual event "to get people together to make the business case for climate action," said Sylvain Biville of the Climate Group, which organizes the week. The Climate Group's goal is "a prosperous, low-carbon future," which the group says will be achieved by "a rapid scale-up of low carbon energy and technology."
           The United Nations say 125 nations will be represented. It's the first time in five years that world leaders have gathered to discuss climate change. They also talk about their summit aims to get world leaders to pledge emission cuts that could become part of a global agreement to be approved at U.N. climate talks next year in Paris.
           The march was the first in a series of events this week intended to shine a spotlight on global warming ahead of the United Nations Climate Summit on Tuesday. President Obama and world leaders from government, finance and business will be at the U.N. to announce initiatives meant to move the world toward limiting global warming.
           More than 1,100 organizations endorsed the march, which was organized by a coalition of groups including 350.org, Avaaz, the Sierra Club, Climate Justice Alliance and the Service Employees International Union.
