Send a message to the UN climate talks: no new debt for the world’s poorest countries

Delegates from 200 countries will meet in South Africa from November 28 to try to reach agreement on global emissions cuts and funding for developing countries to adapt to climate change. The Scottish government has been lobbyed to do the right thing by funding its own policies to reduce climate change emissions. Help to put pressure on Scottish climate change minister Stewart Stevenson to use his influence in South Africa to ensure that funding for developing countries to adapt to climate change is given to them as grants not loans. Lending to countries that are already heavily in debt will only drive them further into poverty.  Please email Stewart Stevenson now.
