Climate change is an issue of justice: it hits the world's poorest communities first and hardest.

CAFOD is calling on the rich world to take greater responsibility for tackling climate change.

Developed nations use more than their fair share of the Earth's resources and the poorest are already bearing the brunt of droughts, floods and extreme weather conditions.

Take action on climate change with CAFOD as part of living simply and sustainably, in solidarity with the poorest communities in the world.

Now is a crucial time to campaign to strengthen the UK's Climate Change Bill.
