Tearfund is urging people to write to David Miliband, the Secretary of State for the Environment, ahead of the next UN conference on climate change to take place in Nairobi from 6 to 17 November.
Delegations from 180 countries will come together for the major conference that will focus on determining a strategy to tackle climate change and its consequences.
Stop Climate Chaos, a growing coalition of the UK’s leading environment, development and women’s organisations, activist and faith-based groups, recently announced it is to stage an event called ‘I Count’ in London’s Trafalgar Square on 4 November 2006.
Tearfund and Christian Aid members are expected to join in the event, alongside concerned people from across the country, to ‘be counted’ and to demand politicians take action on climate change.
