Archbishop Desmond Tutu and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger are lending their voices and clout to encourage politicians and the public to push for a fair and binding climate change agreement in Copenhagen this December.
“We all know there is no single issue that threatens our nations prosperity and all of humanity more than climate change,” explains Schwarzenegger. “We know that we must have climate action. That is how revolutions begin –at the grassroots level.” Schwarzenegger will attend the COP15 talks to lend his support to world leaders in the hopes that they are able to reach a climate change agreement.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu explains the need for citizens and politicians around the globe to work together in his video message.
“The whole world is faced with the common threat of climate change,” explains Tutu. “We must live as the generation that pulled humanity back from the brink of catastrophic climate change. Now is the time to listen to our conscious as there is a clear moral imperative to tackle the causes of global warming.”
