The year was 2025. The world was on the brink of a climate catastrophe, and the need for urgent action had never been more pressing. Inspired by the book “I Ran the World,” a group of activists launched a groundbreaking campaign to mobilise millions of people around the world to demand immediate and decisive action on climate change.
The campaign, dubbed “Get2COP,” was centred around a revolutionary app that allowed users to create virtual journeys to the COP30 conference in Brazil. By tracking their steps, runs, or bike rides, participants could contribute to a collective effort to reach COP30 virtually from wherever they lived in the world.
Their purpose? To deliver a message to the policymakers and leaders of the world that something must be done – now!
The app was designed to be user-friendly, inclusive, and fun, incorporating elements of gamification, interactivity, and leaderboards. This made it engaging for users of all ages and abilities, encouraging them to get involved, stay motivated and track their progress.
Users could create groups with friends, family, and community members, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. As the campaign gained momentum, groups from schools, universities, and local organisations joined the effort, creating a diverse and global movement.
The Get2COP app not only tracked the collective progress of participants but also collected data on demographics, statistics, and individual stories. This information was used to create a powerful narrative that highlighted the global reach and impact of the campaign.
Participants could also pledge to reduce their carbon footprints by taking actions such as conserving energy, reducing waste, and adopting sustainable transportation. They could choose a climate avatar for their journey, representing a climate issue that concerned them most. These features empowered individuals to make a difference and provided a tangible way for participants to track their progress and share their achievements with others. It created a sense of accountability and inspired others to take action. It also meant they led by example.
The campaign gained momentum through social media, celebrity endorsements, and influencer marketing. The number of pledges to reduce carbon footprints grew exponentially. The app became a platform for sharing best practices, tips, and resources on sustainable living. It fostered a community of like-minded individuals who were committed to making a positive impact on the planet.
On the eve of COP30, the data from the Get2COP app was displayed on giant screens at the conference venue. The numbers were staggering: millions of people from all corners of the globe had participated in the campaign, contributing billions of steps to the virtual journey to Brazil. The app had also collected millions of pledges to reduce carbon footprints, demonstrating the collective commitment of the global community to a sustainable future.
The visual representation of the campaign’s impact was a powerful statement. It demonstrated the collective strength of the global community and the unwavering determination of individuals to demand a sustainable future. As the world leaders gathered at COP30, they were confronted with the undeniable evidence of the campaign’s success.
The Get2COP app had not only mobilised millions of people but had also created a powerful digital platform for advocacy and engagement. It had transformed the way people could participate in global movements, demonstrating the potential of technology to drive positive change.
As the COP30 delegates listened to the impassioned speeches and witnessed the overwhelming support for climate action, they knew that they could no longer ignore the crisis. The time for inaction was over. It was time to act boldly and decisively. They were now being held to account!
