The forced displacement of indigenous and forest-dependent communities to make
way for industrial tree plantations is on the rise. With the inclusion of
forests in the carbon market and the elimination of any reference to indigenous
rights from the UN's Reducing Emissions from Deforestation in Developing
Countries agreement that came out of the last UN Climate Convention in Poznan,
we can expect to see even more forced displacements--this time to supposedly
"protect" forests. [from Global Justice Ecology]

A Call to Action

December 6, 2008 - Celebrating a New Day for the Earth

Friday, November 14

To Friends of the Climate Crisis Coalition,

I never thought I'd write an email like this. I never thought that members of the U.S. Climate Emergency Council staff would be spied on by the Maryland State Police as we peacefully and legally promote windmills and solar panels!!

In December 2009, in Copenhagen, the UN will convene the largest and most important Climate Summit to date. There is now a low volume announcement list for those interested in the planned counter-mobilisation and associated global action days.
To join the new announcements email list and keep up to date with what is happening in the COP 15 mobilisation send a blank email to
