who
are Stop Climate Chaos?
The
UK Government, like most others, is failing to take the necessary action
to prevent the chaos that climate change will cause. Only massive public
pressure will ensure that it lives up to its responsibilities. That's
why Stop Climate Chaos has been formed.
Our
growing coalition, which contains most of the UK's leading environmental
and international development organisations as well as women's
organisations, activist groups and faith-based campaigns, aims to build
irresistible popular pressure on politicians to act.
Stop
Climate Chaos will strive to ensure that the UK Government does
everything it must at home and abroad - with the utmost urgency - to
halt climate change. Combining with like-minded bodies in other
countries we will work to ensure that other Governments do the same.
