MAKE THE LINK - MAKE THE DEAL

Now is the time for world leaders to make the deal in Copenhagen and stop climate change impacting on the poorest. We need your support to persuade decision-makers in the developed world to:

  • Agree to provide funds reaching $100 billion annually by 2020 to support adaptation for the poorest and most vulnerable communities in the world

Sign up now to get Gordon Brown to make the deal.
