Practical Action is working with the most vulnerable communities to help them adapt to the effects of climate change. The UN climate conference in Copenhagen was the best chance to secure the futures of the millions already suffering.

Our Stop Climate Injustice campaign has been focused on getting the strongest possible deal in Copenhagen. With your help we are still trying to ensure world leaders Make the Link and Make the Deal.

It is the world’s poorest people who are hardest hit by devastating droughts, floods and other extreme weather events. This is a massive injustice – climate change is caused by the world’s richest countries.

Copenhagen is our chance to make a difference Climate change's effect on the poor climate change is not a far distant concern - it is a real and current threat that can destroy livelihoods and take lives
