The Wave - Come together to stop climate chaos

EJF is a member of the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition (SCCC): an 11 million strong coalition of committed supporters, campaigners, hearts, minds and voices from more than 100 organizations. On December 5th, members and friends of SCCC will be taking to the streets of London to send a message to the UK Government that action must be taken on climate change now. Waiting until worst-case scenarios are realized is simply not an option. We have the opportunity and capabilities to effect change, all we need is political will.

Everyone from environmental and development charities to unions, faith, community and women's groups to your average person in the street will be there. Join EJF and let your voice be heard.

In the words of President Michel of the Seychelles, at the FAO World Food Summit 2009, “Small island developing states are the first to face the violent consequences of a phenomenon to which we have contributed little. Some small low-lying islands are already facing the forced displacement of their inhabitants.

Climate change negates our right to live and work in the land of our birth. It violates our dignity and threatens our very existence. It impacts significantly on our food security efforts and our livelihood. It poses real threats not only to us, island people, but to the human race as a whole. What steps are we taking to combat climate change?

Copenhagen was a beacon of hope, but its brightness is fading. We cannot afford for Copenhagen to be just a talk shop on climate change. It must rather be a forum on action to avert disaster. We cannot at this late hour accept that a few countries which are primarily responsible for polluting our atmosphere hold hostage the survival of our planet. The choice is up to us. The choice to save humanity.”
