New social networking website tackles climate change

The award-winning international network for global justice recently launched OneClimate.net, a social networking space for climate change that has been described as a ‘climate Facebook’.
Once on the OneClimate website, you can click and link directly through to inhabit a virtual reality called One Climate island (using Second Life software) that allows a shared 3D experience among users: and there are currently eight milion Second Life users worldwide.

‘It will come into its own when the UN meets on 3-14 December to hold its Climate Summit. We will be opening a virtual window on events in Bali for anyone in the world who can access Second Life. But unlike its real life equivalent – and appropriately for a climate change conference – it will produce no travel-related carbon emissions’ says Peter Armstrong, OneWorld co-founder and Innovations Director.
