what the climate justice campaign is calling for

We want a global climate change deal that puts the world’s poorest people at its heart by:

  • Helping people flourish in developing countries by supporting their right to sustainable development. The poorest have done least to cause climate change, they should not be the ones who pay the price.
  • Providing necessary support for developing countries – who are hit first and hardest by climate change – to adapt to the impacts of extreme weather. This includes additional aid for adaptation, as well as access to clean, green technology. Industrialised countries must provide US$195 billion each year by 2020 on top of existing aid pledges.
  • Tackling the root causes of the problem by cutting emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Industrialised countries must commit to more than 40 per cent cuts, based on 1990 levels, by 2020.
