Last weekend, 100,000 people just marched on the streets of Copenhagen, and events, vigils and signature walls took place in 140 other countries. More then 12 million people around the world are watching to see if world leaders ensure survival – or if they will fail – condemning millions of people to insecurity, hunger, poverty and death.

We are heading for a deal that leaders will be hail as a success but will not protect the most vulnerable people or avoid catastrophic climate change. Poor countries cannot be expected to sign a ‘suicide pact’ in Copenhagen. This is about survival.

We stand in solidarity with the countries marginalised in the climate negotiations, with those most affected by climate change and with the climate movement here in Copenhagen trying to ensure civil society voices are heard. World leaders have two days to stand up and deliver the leadership the world is demanding.

We don’t need more empty talk or finger pointing. They know what a fair, ambitious and binding deal looks like and they know we are desperately waiting for it. World leaders have heard our call – the call is clear.

Civil society is locked out from the negotiations but even from outside we can see the truth about what is happening. We will not be fooled by spin and our voices will not be silence. World leaders have two days to stand up and deliver the leadership the world is demanding. They know what a fair, ambitious and binding deal looks like!!!
