Act for Copenhagen

Act for Copenhagen

30 Nov 2009 by Paul Northup

With a surprising amount of political momentum generated at the Commonwealth Conference in Trinidad, hopes are picking up again for an agreement that might mean lasting change being made in Copenhagen in just a few days time.

Here’s just one way that you can play your part in keeping the pressure up:

Sign a petition to ask Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen to not double count money to help developing countries adapt to climate change at the Copenhagen Conference on the One International website. The people at One are after 25,000 signatures before the Conference starts and they’re just over 15,000 now. Make it one of your Generous actions here.

And in case you think the jury’s still out on climate change and you live in the UK, consider one of our wettest, warmest Novembers ever – a month when in many parts of the country there’s been rain of some sort or another on literally every day. Also, take a listen to the Iona Community’s John Bell’s Generous ‘Thought for the Day’ in the aftermath of the devastating Cumbrian floods.
