Just the other week, the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCC) concluded its meeting in Cancun, and, to no one's surprise, it was
business as usual. The UNFCC shut out the voices of indigenous people and
youth as they tried to represent peoples who are disproportionately
affected by climate change. They even prevented members of the media
from reporting on these events.
Check out this report from Democracy Now! and hear Greenpeace International’s executive director, Kumi Naidoo give his thoughts at the end:
It’s clear that powerful interests won’t let us have a voice at the table; we have to take matters into our own hands. That’s why I’m ready to take on these powerful interests this spring when Greenpeace launches our campaign to stop coal. We aren’t going to sit around as politicians refuse to act. We are going to take on the biggest sources of CO2 pollution by going direct at the source ourselves. We are going to stop coal!
Help us by joining the fight.
