Join millions of people in 70 countries (and counting) who will be on the streets to demand that world leaders take the urgent and resolute action that is needed to prevent the catastrophic destabilization of global climate, so that the entire world can move as rapidly as possible to a stronger emissions reductions treaty which is both equitable and effective in preventing dangerous climate change.
As heads of state meet in Bali, Indonesia for the UN Climate Negotiations to negotiate the our future, on December 8 the youth of Canada can stand in solidarity with millions world wide to demand our leaders take real action.
We also demand that the long-industrialized countries that have emitted most greenhouse gases up to now take most of the responsibility for the adaptive measures that have to be taken, especially by low-emitting countries with limited economic resources.
In Canada, the case is particularly severe: Canada declared our Kyoto targets unachievable and joined Bush's club of polluting nations who think "voluntary targets" will reach our commitments. December 8 is our day to tell our government that the only path to a stable climate runs through Kyoto!
The CYCC is joining ACT for the Earth in organizing actions nationwide, through local, city and rural based coalitions.
