Klimatopmødet i København til december skal beslutte en afløser for den helt utilstrækkelige Kyoto-aftale om CO2-reduktion.

Imidlertid er udsigterne til en tilstrækkeligt ambitiøs – og socialt og globalt retfærdig – aftale til at afværge en global klimakatastrofe ikke alt for gode.

Derfor finder vi det nødvendigt, at der organiseres en synlig manifestation af, at det ikke er verdens befolkninger, der står i vejen for en sådan aftale.

Vores ambition er at samle alle, der ønsker en ambitiøs og socialt og globalt retfærdig klimaaftale, til en stor, bred og folkelig fælles demonstration lørdagen midt under topmødet.

Demonstrationen er planlagt tl at gå fra Københavns centrum til Bella Centeret, hvor forhandlingerne finder sted.

Vær med til at sprede budskabet!

This may seem a long way off now but if we are to get a large contingent of people present in Copenhagen for the UN Summit then we need to plan ahead! We hope many of you can join us - all details below and on our website http://www.campaigncc.org/ or email copenhagen@campaigncc.org

United Nations Climate Talks in Copenhagen, in December 2009 (COP 15/MOP5) are the world's last chance to secure an emissions reduction agreement that will replace the Kyoto Protocol before it expires. There is a growing consensus among scientists that we have a global Climate Emergency in which we have ten years or less to stop and reverse the global growth in greenhouse gases before 'runaway' climate change becomes uncontrollable. That means the international talks being held in Copenhagen in 2009 could be our last chance to avert a global catastrophe of unimaginable proportions – perhaps the most important international meeting ever held.

We feel therefore that there is an overwhelming need to demonstrate a global will for urgent and effective action on climate change at this time. The Campaign against Climate Change will collaborate with others to have the greatest possible presence at Copenhagen itself during the Talks (Monday 7th December to Friday 18th December) and especially for the mass demonstration on Saturday 12th December. CCC has joined The Climate Movement of Denmark, Klimataktion in Sweden, Friends of the Earth Europe and Climat et Justice Sociale, Belgium to make a Call for this demonstration in Copenhagen on 12th December 2009.

Campaign against Climate Change is working with partners in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Germany to try and organise a 'Euro-Train' to Copenhagen for the weekend 12th-13th. We will keep you informed of developments ( if you think you can help with this in any way do let us know!). If you are interested in going to Copenhagen for the 2009 Talks please contact us at :
copenhagen@campaigncc.org, this will help us plan transport.
