Change Trade, Not our Climate!
One way or another change is on the way: if we don’t change the rules of the global economy we won’t be able to limit climate change
Why? Because current global trade rules and priorities:
• contribute to climate change
• stop governments taking action on climate change at home
• prevent effective intergovernmental collaboration and
• limit countries’ and communities’ ability to adapt to a changing climate
Trade rules also contributed to the current financial crisis.
Members of Our World Is Not For Sale believe the answer is clear: we must change the rules of the global economy if we are to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
A new approach, that puts the long-term health of the planet and the well-being of all its people before short-term considerations, would be better for our climate, better for people and better for our economies.
Climate Justice! - the kind of change we need right now!
