why gcca?

In 2007 at COP 13, the UNFCCC adopted the Bali Road Map committing
governments to reaching agreement for a “secure climate future” by COP
15 in Copenhagen. Non-governmental organizations must continue to play
a major role in demanding a comprehensive, ambitious and binding
agreement. The stakes have never been higher. The complexity of the
agreement, the scientific imperative, and the economic context in which
the treaty will be negotiated will require a substantially more
ambitious and coordinated response than civil society has mustered to
date.

objectives

• To demonstrate irresistible public demand for a fair and strong
  post 2012 UN agreement in Copenhagen through a series of coordinated
  public actions at key moments in 2009;
• To identify, empower and amplify the human voices most profoundly
  affected by climate change and bring them directly to the decision
  makers;
• To communicate the urgent need for action and the opportunity and
  hope associated with a Copenhagen agreement through a sophisticated
  communications campaign;
• To utilize existing and new online tools to engage millions of citizens in online and offline actions focused on Copenhagen;
• To connect the intelligence gathering and sophisticated advocacy
  provided by numerous NGOS in order to target and maximize the
  collective impact of groups on every continent.

GCCA will create the winning global conditions for a fair and ambitious Copenhagen agreement.

In the coming months, it will:

• Engage in major actions in Bonn, New York and Copenhagen, timed to
  coincide with high-level gatherings of Copenhagen decision-makers and
  Heads of State. Events will include inside briefings and advocacy as
  well as outside mobilization to demonstrate a public mandate for an
  effective and fair Copenhagen agreement.
• Facilitate a series of local, national and global events to amplify
  the testimony of communities and individuals already affected by
  climate change directly to the attention of Heads of State, Copenhagen
  negotiators, and the media.
• Join together with a common symbol and communications effort
  designed to communicate and leverage the power of millions of concerned
  citizens in the North and in the South.
• Based on sound political strategies generate public pressure within
  key countries to influence important decisions taken at the national
  and regional levels.
