Dear friends,
Last week world leaders let us down at the Copenhagen climate summit. We expected a fair, ambitious and legally binding treaty that would protect the climate. But leaders left without agreeing to the cuts in greenhouse gas emissions that science demands. They delivered words but no real action.
It's our future. We can change it.
It’s up to each and every one of us to let leaders know that in the coming months we will make sure they finish what they started. Pressure from millions of people like you brought world leaders to the negotiating table, now we need your help again to make them finish the job.
It was the richest industrialised nations – the US, EU and Australia - that held the rest of the world back. Responsible for the largest share of historical emissions, they also have the greatest capacity to cut emissions and lead the world in a clean energy revolution. By acting out of self interest, they are putting millions of lives at risk.
We need to focus our efforts on these countries to change our future. Please take a few minutes today to write to these leaders and let them know the world is counting on them to finish the job. Words are not enough - action is what is needed. Leaders must step up and show real leadership by committing to a sound climate treaty.
Thanks for taking action
