Deliver a fair global deal that keeps global warming under 2 degrees C.
The UK is historically one of the countries most responsible for climate change. Even today Japan, Europe and the US pump out over 40 per cent of global CO2 emissions. It is only fair that rich countries like the UK must act first and fastest to cut their emissions.
The Stop Climate Chaos Coalition is calling for people across the UK to connect with others in their communities on 5th-6th November and lobby their MPs.
With supporters from more than 100 organisations coming together in their communities for the Big Climate Connection, we’ll show MPs that people from all walks of life – from environment to development groups, from unions to local community and health groups - are calling for action on climate change.

Gordon Brown is right to acknowledge the vital importance of reaching a global deal on climate change, Friends of the Earth said today.
173 million people across the world, including 220, 565 in the UK, took part in lobbies, demonstrations, petitions, public meetings and special faith services from 16-18 October to deliver a message to politicians that action must be taken to tackle Global Poverty and Climate Change.
In a manifesto launched today, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has pledged UK leadership in tackling climate change during the run-up to the UN climate summit in Copenhagen this December. Alongside the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Ed Miliband, he has outlined his vision for a new deal where the emissions of developed nations will peak by 2020 (we believe the deal should be no later than 2015) and decline thereafter.
