Prime Minister Cameron - Deliver on the UK's Climate Change Commitments

As a member of the Group of Seven (G7) economic alliance, the United Kingdom has a profound responsibility and singular opportunity to positively shape the world we live in — but that can only occur if the government delivers on its global commitments.

In 2009, the UK pledged to work with other G7 members to raise just over £64.5 billion annually from public and private sources to help developing countries most impacted by climate change.

Four years later, the nation is far from keeping its promise. The UK has pledged just £3.87 billion to the Global Climate Fund from 2011 to 2016 — and has no concrete plan in place to step up its efforts.

Chipping in to the £64.5 billion Global Climate Fund may seem like a lot of money, but as a global economic leader — and historically a major producer of the carbon emissions that fuel climate change — the UK has a special role to play in mitigating the effects of climate change in those countries that will be most affected.

Scientists agree that climate change will hit developing countries the hardest, creating instability abroad and threatening security in the UK.

It is imperative that the UK make good on its commitments to help avert disaster and make good on them now. Sign the petition and urge Prime Minister David Cameron to immediately boost assistance, both public and private, to help developing countries avert a climate catastrophe.

Prime Minister Cameron,

As someone who is concerned about the effects of global climate change on developing countries, I strongly urge you to accelerate your government's efforts to help these countries address the impacts of climate change.
