Bali: A Victory for People Power
|
At the Bali Climate Change Summit, the world faced down an effort by the US, Canada and Japan to wreck the negotiations. Over 600,000 Avaaz members mobilized to save the Bali talks, including 320,000 in the final 72 hours! Just a few examples of how Avaaz members pitched in: • Local rallies in over 100 nations and in Bali • Presenting 2.6 million signatures from 192 countries calling for climate action • Rapid response campaigns to pressure the American, Canadian and Japanese governments The good: A road map to create a new international climate treaty by 2009 and an $80 billion annual fund to help poorer countries adapt to climate change. The bad: No specific reduction targets yet. What's next: 2 years to keep the pressure on. Let's get to it! |
