UN Climate finance appeal
Ask Rudd to break his silence on climate finance (this is an Australian Oxfam link, but were all in this together).
The latest round of UN climate change negotiations have just started in Bangkok and the lack of action around climate financing to assist developing countries is proving a key hurdle in reaching an effective, just and binding global climate treaty being signed in December in Copenhagen.
Urge Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to do more.
Climate change is already here. Drought, flooding, storm damage, tidal surges and coastal erosion are damaging fisheries, crops and water supplies. Yet world leaders (including our Prime Minister) still made little progress on this issue at last week’s G20 meeting and UN Climate Summit.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd could play an important role to help boost much needed trust and kick start these stalled negotiations. If he’s to do this however, he must make an announcement on climate finance well before the Copenhagen climate meeting in December.
With just 69 days to go, the clock is ticking…
