Save the Children is planning an unusual event to highlight rising water levels due to climate change

Save the Children will see how many people are ready to save children’s lives today, when it tosses 10 dolls resembling children into Peblinge Lake in central Copenhagen.

Under the campaign ‘Don’t Drown Our Future’, the organisation will attempt to put focus on what it believes are climate change’s most vulnerable victims – the world’s children.

Save the Children stated in a press release that the publicity stunt’s dolls represent the millions of children around the world who will be exposed to flooding and other severe natural disasters unless something is done now about climate change.

The ‘Don’t Drown Our Future’ campaign is also accessible in cyberspace, as Save the Children’s homepage allows website visitors to save the ‘drowning’ dolls and support the project. Each time a child is ‘clicked’ on the website from a mouse, various companies will donate money to the organisation.

‘There are already many children dying because of climate change,’ Mimi Jakobsen, Save the Children’s general secretary, told Ekstra Bladet newspaper. ‘And if we don’t act quickly, the number of deaths related to it will continue to grow.’
