CARE in Copenhagen – Looking forward

CARE — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 13:20:15 +0000

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.

First, Robert Glasser shares his views on the importance of climate change to the global organization in reducing poverty. He is speaking from the 100 Places Exhibit in Copenhagen, which is presented in partnership with CARE Denmark.

CARE in Copenhagen – Day 1

CARE — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 15:48:37 +0000

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.
