The Global Work Party came together online through websites, social networks, and a largely volunteer team around the world. The goal of the Global Work Party was to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis.

In the days surrounding the 10.10.10 Work Party, U.S. President Barack Obama, Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed, and Illinois Governor Pat Quinn all committed to install solar on their official residences. Mexico City and Parisian Mayors committed to cut their city's emissions 10% over the next year.

• In Turkey: 7,000 marched for climate action
• In China: 30,000 students joined over 300 events across the country
• In Bangladesh: citizens demonstrated knee deep in the flood waters affecting hundreds of thousands of people
• In Iran: hundreds of students attended an environmental symposium
• In Afghanistan: groups of students planted trees in a valley outside Kabul
• In South Africa: a local business installed solar panels on the roof of an orphanage
• In the United States: over 2,000 rallies were held, with events in all 50 states, including 400 clean energy rallies in California

"The size and spread of [the 10.10.10] events surprised even those of us organizing them. They demonstrate a continuing—a growing—hunger for real action on the most desperate problem the planet faces," states environmental writer and 350.org founder Bill McKibben.
