To Copenhagen for Climate Justice
Change Trade, Not our climate!
One way or another change is on the way: if we don't change the rules of the global economy we won't be able to limit the climate change.
Why?
Because current global trade rules and priorities:
- contribute to climate change
- stop governments taking action on climate change at home
- prevent effective intergovernmental collaburation
- limit countries' and communities' ability to adapt to a changing climate
Trade rules also contributed to the current financial crisis. Members of Our World Is Not For Sale believe the answer is clear: we must change the rules of the global economy if we are to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
A new approach that puts the long-term health of the planet and the wellbeing of all its people befor short-term considerations, would be better for our climate, better for people and better for our economies.
Climate justice! The kind of change we need right now!
