After a grand first appearance three weeks ago during the climate negotiations in Brussels, MS ActionAids fiery red climate debt agents are starting up taking their positions as the COP15 Climate Summit in Copenhagen approaches. Their message is clear and simple: The rich countries, being most responsible for climate change, must pay their "climate debt" to the poor developing countries that are worst affected.
Carrying this message, the climate debt agents walked through Copenhagen on 17 November and took position in front of the press meeting of the last PreCOP meeting before the COP15 Climate Summit is going to take place in Copenhagen in December.
While world leaders are busy running away from their responsibility of making binding agreements, the climate debt agents started a dialogue with the public about the necessity of action and economic compensation now.
The reddressed climate debt agents will be active and visible from now on and during the summit. In this important effort we need your support to put pressure on the world's leaders in order to achieve a fair climate deal
