GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION

International
Demonstrations on Climate Change

December 12th 2009

at the time
of the United Nations Talks on climate change
(COP15/MOP5)

in Copenhagen, Denmark

This webpage has been set up to publicise and promote plans for
demonstrations on climate change, to coincide with the annual United Nations
Climate Talks which are taking place this year (COP15/MOP5) in Copenhagen,
Denmark on December 7th to 18th 2009.

We intend synchronised demonstrations around the world on Saturday December
12th 2009 - in as many places as possible - to call on world leaders to take
urgent action on climate change.

The Copenhagen Climate Talks are the world's last chance to secure an
emissions reductions agreement that will replace the Kyoto Protocol before it
expires. There is a growing consensus among scientists that we have as little
as ten years to stop and reverse the global growth in greenhouse gas emissions
before 'runaway' climate change becomes uncontrollable. That means the
international talks being held in Copenhagen in December 2009 could be our
last chance to avert a global catastrophe of unimaginable proportions -
perhaps the most important international meeting ever held. We feel therefore
that there is an overwhelming need to demonstrate a global will for urgent and
effective action at this time

The 'Call to Action' for the demonstrations is as follows

“We demand that world leaders take
the urgent and resolute action that is needed to prevent the catastrophic
destabilisation of global climate, so that the entire world can move as
rapidly as possible to a stronger emissions reductions treaty which is both
equitable and effective in minimising dangerous climate change.

We
demand that the long-industrialised countries that have emitted most
greenhouse gases currently in the atmosphere take responsibility for climate
change mitigation by immediately reducing their own emissions as well as
investing in a clean energy revolution in the developing world. Developed
countries must take their fair share of the responsibility to pay for the
adaptive measures that have to be taken, especially by low-emitting countries
with limited economic resources.

Climate change will hit
the poorest first and hardest. All who have the economic means to act, must
therefore urgently and decisively do so.”
