1 December 2014 -On the opening day of the UN climate summit in Lima, Peru, the largest climate fast in history takes place – including the island of Tuvalu - but Filipino Yeb Sano who inspired the movement is not at the crunch talks.
Mr Sano tearfully addressed last year's UN summit in Warsaw, Poland, the day after Typhoon Haiyan swept through his country killing more than 6,000. In an act of solidarity with his people without food he fasted for the duration of the talks, an act which inspired people around the world to fast for the climate on the first of every month.
