Working together to end poverty and injustice

UN climate negotiations

The crucial UN climate change conference in Copenhagen may be over but we're not done yet. We are gearing up for this year’s conference in Mexico City. Make sure to watch this space!

We recently campaigned at the UN climate negotiations in Bonn. Representatives from nearly every nation on Earth met to continue working on the key issues of limiting global warming pollution and helping poor countries protect themselves from climate change.

What is Oxfam calling for?

Climate change needs a global solution. Oxfam is part of the tck tck tck global campaign, calling for an ambitious, fair and legally binding agreement at the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen. In particular, we're asking that developed countries:

• reduce emissions to at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2020
• work within the United Nations to ensure that the needs of the world’s poorest people are at the heart of a new global climate change deal
• provide the money and technology needed, independent of existing aid commitments, to help vulnerable people in poor countries adapt to changing climates

Take action on climate change now

Developed countries must accept their responsibility for the climate crisis and help vulnerable people who are suffering the impacts.
