Time for Climate Justice


Since the missed opportunity that was the Copenhagen climate summit in December 2009, the global response to climate change has stagnated.

We believe... no, we know that lives will be lost if we settle for this. That, however, is the last thing on our minds.

Climate Justice The fight goes on!

Going green?

Pakistan floods

Climate change is likely to make natural disasters like the monsoon floods in Pakistan and the current food crisis in west Africa worse: longer droughts, more intense storms, worse floods.

They also offer a stark reminder of how vulnerable the world's poorest communities are to natural disasters - and how rich countries need to act now on their behalf.

Write to the UK government and call for action on climate change.

Sign our letters to Cameron and Osborne

David CameronThe new government says it's committed to tackling poverty. We need to make sure they deliver.

In London on 20 October, our Supporter Day will be a great chance to speak out for the world's poor - and see how committed our government really is.

We'd love to see you there - but first we need you to sign letters to the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which we will hand in on 20 October, calling for action on climate change and tax dodging.

A Climate of Politics

Greg BarkerWe recently got together with the Institute of Public Policy Research and WWF to stage A Climate of Politics, a series of talks on the political response to climate change.

We recorded a few interviews with some of the key speakers on the state of play, the role of the UK, the EU, the US and China – and the importance to people living in the developing world.
