On the eve of bonfire night, Christian Aid campaigners sent an incendiary reminder to world leaders ahead of next month's historic climate change talks in Copenhagen – don’t blow it!
Dressed as Gordon Brown, Barack Obama, Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy, our campaigners posed outside the Houses of Parliament with a giant stick of dynamite symbolising the threat to planet if the international community does not commit to drastic reductions in carbon emissions.

Crucial talks
Our protest coincides with crucial pre-Copenhagen talks taking place this week, as Sarah Spinney, Christian Aid’s climate campaign manager, explained.
‘G20 finance ministers meet in Scotland this weekend,’ she said.
‘One of the key topics of their discussions will be how much support, financial and otherwise, rich countries must give poorer countries to help them adapt to climate change and develop in a carbon clean way.
‘In addition, UN climate change negotiators are meeting in Barcelona on Thursday and Friday this week in talks prior to Copenhagen. Our message is very simple. It’s vital world leaders do not blow the chance of a climate deal that is fair, ambitious and binding.’
