Dear ONE Member,
If you've been keeping an eye on the news you’ll have seen that leaders failed to reach a historic outcome at the crucial Copenhagen climate change talks last week. A deal was brokered, but it was not legally binding, and the funding offered to help poor countries adapt to climate change will largely be taken from previous promises made to help them fight poverty.
Whilst this is a setback, governments will meet again on this issue next year, and with your support we will track them every step of the way to ensure this deal is improved upon.
I want to thank the 80,000 ONE members who campaigned against this dodgy accounting. We are now clearer than ever about the leaders and laggards and can target our campaign accordingly.
As we've said throughout the Copenhagen summit, climate change is not a crisis of developing countries' making, yet the impacts of global warming will disproportionately hit the world's poorest people.
Getting a fair outcome for the developing world on climate change is certainly going to be a marathon not a sprint, and I hope you’ll continue the fight with us.
Thank you for your time and support,
Roxane Philson, ONE.org
