Climate action: what ACT is doing Friday, October 07, 2011
Climate change is one of the major challenges to humanity, and
it is the area ACT Alliance has chosen to prioritise for
collective action as a global network. ACT is committed to
tackling the glaring injustice that the world's poorest people,
who have contributed least to the negative effects of climate
change, suffer its consequences the most. As a faith-based
network with professional grass-roots experience, ACT Alliance
stresses that climate policies must place human rights and
solidarity with the world's poorest people at their heart. ACT
calls for every country on earth to be fully accountable, and
for climate policies to contribute to sustainable development.
The alliance believes climate change should be tackled on the
basis of common but different responsibilities: countries that
have a historic responsibility for climate change must also be
the ones making the biggest efforts to combat climate change.
ACT is working on many fronts all around
