We have great challenges in the world today: Global poverty and climate change… They can be overcome. In December 2015, world leaders will meet in Paris to agree on a new agreement for a sustainable future. This meeting can be the step the world needs towards a climate friendly future free of poverty. The effects of climate change are already being felt. People all over the world experience heavie
r floods, more severe droughts, more violent storms, and rising sea levels. People's drinking water is being polluted, and their farming fields are being destroyed. However, if we act now, we can still deal with the worst effects of climate change. We demand world leaders deliver climate justice through fair and strong climate actions that will (1) keep global warming well below a 2 degrees celsius temperature rise, and (2) scale up public finance so the poorest can adapt to climate change and continue to develop in a climate-friendly way.
