The relay baton, a symbol of unity and togetherness
The relay baton is the symbol that champions the individuality in humanity and celebrates bringing people together.
The baton is a dedicated designed one for this relay, made out of only recycled materials, holding a GPS tracker so that people can watch via online map and a solar powered lighting.
It fits a special storage where the message from young people will be sealed in order to be delivered to the decision makers at COP27.
Global Virtual Relay
People around the world who are unable to run a stage on the physical route won’t miss out.
How? Through the electronic platform of the Running out of Time Relay on Saturday, 5 November 2022, we invite all to “pass” the baton as a gesture of unity and togetherness in the critical issue of climate crisis.
