Friends of the Earth International will also be there. We’re inviting people to come to Copenhagen to help build pressure on governments to find fair solutions to the climate crisis. We believe that rich industrialised countries, which have historically emitted the most greenhouse gases, must agree to urgent and dramatic cuts in their emissions starting NOW.

This is absolutely fundamental if we are to prevent the most devastating effects of global warming on the world – in particular on the world’s most impoverished and vulnerable people. Our message to the negotiators is that the historical climate debt to the Global South must be repaid.

People can influence our governments and hold them to account. That’s why Friends of the Earth International is organising the ‘Flood for Climate Justice’ in Copenhagen on Saturday December 12, 2009. In the middle of the two weeks of negotiations, we will ‘flood’ through the streets of Copenhagen with our demands for climate justice.

We’re encouraging as many people as possible to come to Copenhagen, using the most environmentally friendly transport they can, to be part of a movement for climate justice. The event will be the high point in a year of cyber-actions, street actions and campaigning from Friends of the Earth groups around the world.

We invite everyone who shares our vision to join the exciting spectacle on December 12, when we will use our bodies and our voices to create a message that decision-makers and lobbyists cannot ignore:

The Flood Is Coming!
