Al Gore, Live Earth Cancel Live Earth India Sched for Mumbai


Joint Official Statement from Live Earth Founder & CEO Kevin Wall, The Office of the Honorable Al Gore, & Dr. RK Pachauri, Chairman IPCC regarding Live Earth India
Friday, November 28, 2008

"Everyone involved with Live Earth India, from our U.S.- and India-based staff, artists and crew to our India-based broadcast, production, non-profit and marketing communications partners, is stunned and saddened by the tragic events of the past few days in our host city Mumbai. We always felt very welcomed and safe as we spent more time on the ground in Mumbai to finalize plans for Live Earth India, scheduled for December 7.

Due to circumstances far beyond our control, we are saddened to announce that Live Earth India has been canceled. We will continue to work for solutions to the climate crisis for the good of the people of India and around the world. But for now, our thoughts and our prayers are with the victims of this terrible attack, with the bereaved, with the people of Mumbai and with everyone in India.
