A day of discussion, information and action planning, focussing on the upcoming international climate talks in Copenhagen.
In the last year, we have seen the highest level of unemployment in fourteen years, the collapse of the banking system, and over 300,000 people dying from climate change. These crises are all related - from backroom deals on runway expansion to the MPs expenses scandal, we have seen a collapse in public faith in the political system.
Copenhagen is not just about climate change - it raises questions about a socially and ecologically unjust world that values profit over people.
The struggle against climate change needs to be a struggle for social justice.
