From Katrina to Copenhagen: Women Demand U.S. Action on Climate Change
Only swift and sustained global action will stave off the direct consequences of climate change. Yet the United States, the world’s only super power has so far refused to join the global effort to address climate change.
The Women Demand U.S. Action on Climate Change Campaign seeks to mobilize women across America to push for mandatory reduction of greenhouse gases and re-engagement in UN negotiations over the post-Kyoto international agreement for addressing global climate change.
The next phase of a post-Kyoto agreement will be negotiated in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009. We ask the new U.S. administration to the include women’s voices and actions in the deliberations on which our future depends. From the devastation of Hurricane Katrina to the possibilities of Copenhagen, Women across the U.S., are helping to create the political will necessary for the U.S. to step up and rejoin the multi-lateral processes on climate change.
