Make Combating Climate Change a Global Effort!

Target: Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
Sponsored by: The ONE Campaign
Negotiations are taking place on a new Kyoto treaty. The focus of those negotiations has been on limiting carbon emissions. But we need to make sure the agreement also includes funding to help developing countries adapt to climate change.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meets again in June to work toward a framework for December's critical Copenhagen Climate Conference. And for the new Kyoto Protocol to work, every country in the world must come together to address climate change. That includes the world's poor, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Climate change is clearly not a crisis of Africa's making, yet the consequences of global warming will disproportionately hit Africa's poor.

Rich countries have an obligation to immediately curb greenhouse gas emissions and help Africa avoid the worst effects of climate change. Sign the petition to Yvo de Boer, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, who is chairing the next round of negotiations in June, urging the proper funding for all countries suffering the effects of climate change.

Climate change is the most serious threat to our planet at this moment, it has been caused by corporate greed and ignorance. Because of our plundering of the worlds resorces, poorer countries are suffering the consequencies, and it is up to us to put it right. Please give these countries the funding they need to counteract the effects of climate change
