The Boston Night to Combat Climate Change is Boston's premier 2009 event drawing attention to the global climate change crisis just before the critical international climate negotiations. The event will showcase New England's leaders in the fight against global climate change. Proceeds from this gala event will go to Natural Resource Defense Council and Oxfam for their work to address the environmental and humanitarian impacts of global climate change.

Hosted by Worthy Causes, Inc. at the Cambridge Royal Sonesta, the November 1, 2009 event will feature George M. Woodwell, Ph.D., an ecologist with broad interests in global environmental issues and policies, and other notable speakers, networking opportunities, a silent auction, dancing, entertainment, and fine food and drink. The carbon footprint of the event will be measured and offset, and those in attendance will receive an event package containing earth-friendly products and information on ways to reduce their carbon footprint. The event will focus on raising awareness about climate change, while also celebrating the efforts of innovators working to protect the environment and combat climate change and its impact on poor people.
