As Global citizens, we are facing a huge humanitarian crisis that affects us all. Rising sea levels, droughts and floods are hitting the very poorest nations(Often with the lowest carbon footprint)hard. Forcing these poorest nations further into poverty. We in the rich Western nations must commit a fair and safe deal / future for all, hence the Copenhagen summit in December.
Let's all work together and sort it out Now!
Here's a template letter to get things moving:
Dear...................................MP,(find your MP at:www.parliament.uk)
As a Global citizen I'm concerned about climate change and it's devastating impacts on vulnerable communities across the world.
The UN talks in Copenhagen this December must address this injustice by agreeing a strong and fair deal that protects poor people.
But, I am worried that the deal could fail because of a lack of political leadership and desire of world leaders to commit what's needed to tackle climate change. If what is agreed in Copenhagen doesn't protect the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, then it is not a good deal.
Please pass my message on to the Prime Minister urging him to show world-class leadership and secure a climate deal that:
*Commits developed countries to cut emissions by at least 40% by 2020(on 1990 levels) with at least three-quarters of the cuts being made domestically.
*Provides developing countries with at least $150 billion of public funding annually foe adaptation to climate change, clean development and addressing deforestation.
Thank-you
Yours sincerely,
.................................
Just think if we ALL put pen to paper! Climate Change cost lives act now!
