Blogger / Online Campaigner for Global Climate Change Project | tcktcktck
The Global Campaign for Climate Action (GCCA) is the hub for mobilizing civil society to support an ambitious, fair and binding agreement at the UN climate talks in Copenhagen in December 2009. GCCA brings together an unprecedented alliance of faith groups, unions, environmental and development NGOs, and high-profile “climate allies” like Kofi Annan to show world leaders a diverse and active global movement is ready for them to take bold climate action, now.

GCCA’s campaign is centered around a common “open source” brand, tcktcktck, that will be run by formal and informal partners, and a central hub website, www.tcktcktck.org, managed by the GCCA. What ties the campaign together is a common call to action, that will be aggregated across all partner and central websites. The GCCA seeks a talented blogger and online campaigner to join our team for the duration of the campaign and help execute one of the most ambitious and exciting online campaigns on the planet.
