The Time for Climate Justice Campaign is today launching a new online tool to get people to lobby their Government leaders directly ahead of the UN climate change talks in Copenhagen in December.
The tool allows people from any country in the world to send a message directly to their respective Government leader urging them to personally attend the Copenhagen climate talks in order to secure an ambitious, fair and effective agreement. The system, the first of its kind to be deployed on a global level, is aimed at getting the general public to urge their own head of Government to show leadership on the climate change issue.
The launch of the new tools including measures to link up with Facebook and Twitter will be hosted at the campaign website

Kofi Annan, President of the Global Humanitarian Forum and inspiration behind the Tck Tck Tck, Time for Climate Justice campaign said:
“Climate change is the greatest humanitarian and environmental challenge facing mankind today. And it is a challenge that has a grave injustice at its heart. It is the major developed economies of the world which contribute the overwhelming majority of global greenhouse emissions. But it is the poorer and least developed nations that are hit hardest by its impact.
“The ‘Tck Tck Tck: Time for Climate Justice’ campaign is fighting for an ambitious, fair, and effective global deal from world leaders in Copenhagen this December.
“We are urging members of the public to put pressure on their leaders to attend the climate talks in Copenhagen. Good leaders are good followers too. They must lead or we must make them follow. We need the public to join this campaign as the issue is too important to leave to politicians alone.“
