World leaders in Copenhagen failed to deliver the agreement necessary to keep us safe from climate change. In response Greenpeace is mobilising the largest movement civil society has ever witnessed, to demand a fair, ambitious, legally binding climate treaty. Use their action below to show your solidarity. [...] The “Red Carpet Four” activists – Juan, Nora, Christian and Joris – have been released by Danish authorities after spending 20 days detained in jail for staging a peaceful climate protest. Thank you to everyone who supported our activists throughout their detainment – you sent thousands of letters to world leaders who failed to act in Copenhagen and Danish authorities who held the “Red Carpet Four” without trial – this pressure helped to ensure the freedom they regained today!

To drive that point home, representatives of the nonprofit sustainability group the Rainforest Alliance will attend the Copenhagen climate treaty conference December 7-18. [...] Barcelona, Spain — You know the story. The clever tailors that convince a kingdom that only intelligent people can see the clothes they make. Everyone talks about how fine the emperor’s outfit is, until one audacious voice pipes up to say there’s nothing there, the king is naked. When the reality of climate change politics is stripped of rhetoric, most of the industrialised world’s leaders are seriously underdressed, and Obama isn’t wearing a stitch. [...] |
