more to come…

With only 3 days left, the crucial Copenhagen climate summit is failing.

Tomorrow, world leaders will arrive for an unprecedented 60 hours of direct negotiations.  Each one will have to decide whether to step forward as heroes, or fail us all. But they will only act if we do.

Around the world a global movement has been building towards this moment. Now it’s time for one last, massive push — with a global public outcry for a real deal that will stop catastrophic climate change. In the next 72 hours we can build the largest petition in history. Sign below, tell friends, and Avaaz will help deliver the petition directly to leaders inside the Copenhagen summit:

Petition to the 110 Presidents and Prime Ministers negotiating in Copenhagen:

We call on each one of you to make the concessions necessary to meet your historic responsibility in this crisis. Rich countries must offer fair funding, and all countries must set ambitious targets on emissions.  Do not leave Copenhagen without a fair, ambitious and binding deal that keeps the world safe from catastrophic global warming of 2 degrees.

As you may know, the United Nations Climate Change Conference will be hosted in Copenhagen Dec 7-18.  What you may not know, is that the logo was designed by our buddies on the 2nd floor, Jacob Wildschiødtz and Troels Faber.   “The logo symbolizes the earth – the blue planet.  It’s also a network of lines – each representing a UN nation.  The lines can represent communication, negotiations, scientific data of temperature, co2 levels and so forth.  Either way it’s all connected and its all happening on this one world”.  – NR2154.  More on COP15.
