VOLVEREMOS!

6 June 2014

ECO was restless yesterday as Ministers failed to make any exciting new announcements, but this morning we woke to an inspiring rallying cry that echoed in all of the world’s languages. We’re inspired – surely leaders cannot ignore their people any longer?

Volveremos! Stand with us or steps aside!

We are people who participated in the walk out of the Warsaw Climate Conference and those who supported and united with its call for more serious climate action… We have come together to reiterate to all ‘leaders’ participating in the UN climate negotiations that they are dangerously off track in addressing the climate emergency…

We are more determined than ever to fight for the survival of our families, our communities and our peoples across the world – a survival that rests on nothing less than the fundamental transformation of a system that has generated massive impoverishment, injustices and a climate crisis that threatens all life on earth.…

People are mobilising everywhere and taking to the streets in bigger numbers and increasing intensity to stand up to vested interests and fight for their future and those of the next generations…

We  are back, far more strengthened in giving voice to those who are already acting with the urgency needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change…

The global climate movement is building its strength and power in every country of the world. We call on those who claim to represent us to either act in our interests or step aside.
