So I'm taking a slight detour from my study of the different issues of Christian Aid to focus on a project they are working on for climate change, which I discussed in my last blog post. They are mobilizing efforts to get people to take the Copenhagen Pledge. This is in response to the upcoming UN climate summit in Copenhagen that will discuss and decide on the methods used to combat the worlds climate change. The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness and to get as many people to sign the pledge so that they can send the prime minister a list of all the pledges to show the "demand for climate justice".
The pledge requires the people to:
- Campaign for a fair and just deal in Copenhagen
- Lobby the richest to repay their carbon debt.
- Do all I can to reduce my own carbon footprint.
- Pass this pledge on to my community, friends and family.
