CAFOD petition: Stop the COP-out at COP27

A year ago, thousands of us demanded leaders take the action necessary to end the climate emergency as they gathered in Glasgow at the COP26 climate talks.

Progress was made - but it wasn't enough. Too many cans were kicked down the road to the next UN climate summit, COP27, which is taking place in Egypt in November.

The Prime Minister might be changing, but the need for climate action hasn't: the reality of the climate crisis has only become more stark since leaders left Glasgow. Millions of our sisters and brothers in East Africa are fighting to survive a catastrophic food crisis made even worse by the climate crisis, with millions more members of our global family in Pakistan left homeless by unprecedented flooding. Heatwaves during the summer in the UK placed extraordinary strain on fire brigades and the NHS, while our energy bills are soaring as a result of volatile fossil fuel prices.

It's clear we need leaders to put us on track to end the climate crisis. We need them to stop kicking the can down the road.

So join us in urging the government to work at this year's climate talks to stop the COP-out at COP27.
