The COP15 in Copenhagen (or “Brokenhagen”, as some like to call it now) is over. CARE is in no way happy with the results of this mega-event. This is why we will put even more effort in helping the poorest of the poor to adapt to a changing climate and get out of poverty.

Speaking from Copenhagen, Robert Glasser (Secretary General of CARE International), Geoffrey Dennis (National Director of CARE UK) and Niels Tofte (National Director of CARE Denmark share their view on climate change and how it will impact the work of CARE in the future. (more…)

Raja Jarrah, CARE International Climate Change Advisor on REDD, explains REDD, and how CARE is working to influence the negotiations in this area so that it specifically benefits poor and marginalized people. REDD will be the focus of a workshop at COP this evening from 18:15-19:45.

At COP 15, CARE International will work towards mobilizing the much needed political will to seal a fair, ambitious and binding deal in Copenhagen that puts especially vulnerable people at the centre of the world’s response to climate change.

Such a deal should include a commitment to deep cuts in emissions and strong adaptation and REDD provisions. It much also address the needs and rights of especially vulnerable people and ensure their active and meaningful participation at all levels of decision-making.
