Climate Change Demonstration, London, for action at Copenhagen. Stop Climate Chaos (SCC) is the coalition of environment and development organisations dedicated to action on climate change. In Copenhagen in December the world's leaders will decide if we head towards a future of a safe climate for ourselves, and future generations, or we head for a hot, glowering planet with greater poverty and conflict than we have ever seen. They must make the right choice. Throughout 2009, and culminating in a mass demonstration in Central London on December 5 th , the SCC coalition will press for a deal in Copenhagen that will cut global emissions, and provide support for poor countries that are already struggling to cope with a changing climate. Note that Copenhagen may be the last chance for the Earth and our children! |
