NGOs
With a strong legacy of successful campaigning, and an ability to reach out and engage a large, mainstream public, NGOs have long been successfully active players in the climate change agenda.
In lobbying different stakeholder groups, including government, NGOs have helped support positive action on climate change, and have defended the voices of some of the world’s most vulnerable people. For example, highly influential UK Climate Change Act was an initiative campaigned for by the NGOs.
We need civil society to create and maintain popular pressure on Governments around the world, to deliver them a mandate to act.
A global effort to solve the climate crisis
"Climate change is putting life on earth in peril. There is still time to build a greener, safer world. But the clock is ticking. In December world leaders will meet in Copenhagen to decide our destiny. If enough people from around the world show support, our leaders will have the courage to act." Tck Tck Tck campaign
A global alliance of unprecedented scale has been formed to mobilise the unprecedented action required for an agreement at Copenhagen.
Lead by NGOs and involving trade unions, faith groups and the wider public, the “Tck Tck Tck” project (the clock is ticking…) is calling for an ambitious, fair and binding climate change agreement. The campaign calls for individuals around the globe to sign up to their campaign.
Political action is required in order that an agreement at Copenhagen is reached. Public mobilisation around climate change can help support this essential deal being struck.
