The Faces of Climate Change
Posted by John Malloy on 12/12/2009
You might want to consider joining ONE …
Over 63,000 ONE members, yourself included (thank you), have signed our petition asking the Danish Prime Minister not to double count development funding and call it climate change funding. That’s an impressive number of people, and it’s worth taking a moment to remind ourselves exactly why we bother.
We petition governments and make as much noise as possible because there are people who are already experiencing droughts and floods fueled by climate change, and lack the resources to adapt to these changing conditions. Here are some stories from the people directly affected:

Also, singer and ONE Campaigner Bob Geldof was in Ethiopia recently seeing all the changes that have taken place in the 25 years since the 1984 famine. Here he shares some of his thoughts on the impact of climate change he saw there:

I hope you find these pieces interesting and will share them with a few friends to show them why you took the time to support the campaign.
