British Coalition of Groups:
Stop Climate Chaos is a growing coalition of over 40 organizations working out of the United Kingdom. The site includes links to 40 of the UK's leading environmental and international development organizations as well as women's organizations, activist groups and faith-based campaigns. The coalition aims to build irresistible popular pressure on politicians to act on Global Warming. They are striving to ensure that the UK Government does everything it must at home and abroad - with the utmost urgency - to halt climate change. They seek to combine with like-minded bodies in other countries to work to ensure that other Governments do the same. http://www.stopclimatechaos.org/ | |
