Climate change is the greatest threat to humanity and the world’s ecosystems. We have fewer than 100 months to reverse the growth in global carbon emissions, otherwise global warming will almost certainly exceed the danger threshold of 2 degrees C.

The UN Climate Change negotiations in Copenhagen this December are the most important international talks in the history of humankind. They must deliver a fair global deal to keep us all safe from dangerous and irreversible climate chaos.

As one of the countries that bears the greatest historical responsibility for climate change, the UK must show leadership by driving down our carbon emissions by at least 42% (of 1990 levels) by 2020 through domestic action, and call on other rich countries to do the same.

The UK must lead by example to inspire a fair global deal that keeps global warming under 2 degrees C and supports those countries least responsible for, and most vulnerable to, climate change.

The Stop Climate Chaos Coalition calls on the UK Government to:

• Quit dirty coal
• Protect the poorest
• Act fair and fast
