Countdown to Copenhagen - Join the call for a strong climate treaty!

climate_justiceWorld leaders are gathering in Copenhagen in just 13 days to negotiate a new global climate agreement.

Tell yours that you are ready for leadership. Tell them you want a bold, ambitious, and fair agreement. They CAN
achieve an ambitious, just deal in Copenhagen if they try. The world is watching. And we are insisting.



Wangari Maathai will lead the Nobel Women's Initiative and Greenbelt Movement in Copenhagen. She joins with people from all around the world and is calling for climate justice to be at the heart of any deal that is struck. As Wangari said: "Climate change justice is important for Africa because she has emitted an almost negligible amount of carbon in the last 200 years of industrialization, and yet scientists say she will be hardest hit by climate change."

Join her and others in the call for climate justice - download the campaign song Time for Justice for free or upload a 'tcktcktck' video or message on the countdown clock!

The clock is ticking. Act now.
