Water needs to be included in Climate change negotiations
Believe it or not, but the climate change negotiations at Copenhagen and the United Nations are not including water on the agenda, which threatens serious side effects for impoverished farmers around the world. A coalition of Progressio, a Catholic Institute for International Relations, and the SCC have joined forces to get water included in the negotiations. They are asking people to fill in an online petition, which then can be sent in into your MP. I’ve done it and it takes less than 2 minutes of your time, so go on do it now, click here
I like progressio’s vision:
Development means building skills, strengthening communities, finding solutions. It means challenging the structures and policies that keep people poor. It means long term, lasting change. And the way we do it is through people.
On Saturday 5 December 2009, ahead of the crucial UN climate summit in Copenhagen, tens of thousands of people from all walks of life will flow through the streets of London to demonstrate their support for a safe climate future for all. The Wave is organised by the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition. Join The Wave – the UK’s biggest ever demonstration in support of action on climate change. They want the UK Government to Quit Dirty Coal, Protect the Poorest and Act Fair & Fast. Add The Wave to your Facebook and Tweet this.
