Time for climate justice

Time for Climate JusticeNo genuinely meaningful emissions targets. Inadequate funding for people in poor countries. Copenhagen failed.

Christian Aid believes lives will be lost if we settle for this. That, however, is the last thing on our minds.

30% - it's the least the EU can do!

Take our online action and urge the European Union to get talks back on track by committing immediately to cutting its emissions by 30%.

Act now


A target of 30% would be merely a start. Europe must cut emissions by at least 40% by 2020 if we're to avoid global average temperature increases passing the 2˚C mark - and the disastrous consequences this would have for millions in developing countries.

However, 30% would at least show that rich-country politicians can provide leadership rather than obstruction when it comes to tackling global warming.

Climate justice when? The fight goes on!
