Short Summary
Verónica Juzgado is going to the UN to save the world. You can help her get there.
This December, diplomats from across the world will meet in Lima to negotiate a new plan to save the climate. It's all leading up to next year's big meeting in Paris, where world
leaders will meet to sign a new deal to save the climate. This is the
last major meeting before then - so we need to make it count.
Verónica is the secretary of the Global Greens - a growing network of volunteers with a huge global reach through more than 90 Green parties.
Verónica needs to get to Lima to carry the voice of the hundreds of millions of people worldwide who have voted Green for a greener, safer world. She'll take that call to governments - but also play a vital role in connecting Greens from around the world to one another, to make our global network stronger as we head into the Big Year: 2015.
Verónica is ready to go - but we need to cover the costs to get her to the UN meeting in December. Will you help Verónica get to Lima?
What We Need & What You Get
We need to raise the funds for Verónica's travel to Lima.
- 2500 euros is the cost for Verónica to travel to Lima, stay in budget accommodation, get to the Conference each day (and eat).
- If we don't reach our target any funds that you donate will still help cover the cost of getting Verónica to Lima.
- If we exceed our target, the additional funds will go towards continuing the Global Greens climate campaign into next year: pulling together a global analysis of Green climate policies, producing campaign materials, pressuring governments and more.
- We've got great gifts to thank you for your generosity: a DVD of the inspiring first Global Greens Congress (guaranteed to make you cry), a (signed!) book of speeches from the Congress, personal shout-outs from Lima and more.
The Impact
It's so important for Greens to be heard at the UN Climate Conferences. We're the major political family calling worldwide for fast, fair cuts to the pollution that's driving global warming. We're building a better world, all the way from action in our streets to the halls of the UN.
Great Greens are going to Lima to represent their countries - Sweden's Green Deputy Prime Minister will be there as her country's Climate Minister, and so will Green MPs from Europe, the Americas and Australia.
But it's so important to have someone in Lima from a Global Green perspective:
- Verónica can be a voice for people working for a greener world who can't send someone to Lima, especially in less wealthy countries.
- Verónica's work won't just happen during the Conference. She's already preparing, and she'll be keeping those links between Greens alive long after the Lima conference tables have been packed away.
- Even before the Global Greens' first Congress in 2001, we were working cooperatively to build a greener, fairer world. Since then, our network has connected Green political parties and movements to one another, helped each other campaign and created global direction on clean renewable energy, re-energising democracy and more.
- This year, we've paid our first campaign organisers to mobilise Greens around climate change. They've had a big impact, giving an audience to powerful Green stories from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.
- We want to continue that work into next year, when cooperation between Greens worldwide - and huge campaigns to get people voting Green - will be more important than ever for our climate.
We'd love to have your help to send Verónica to Lima and to continue her vital work. Please donate to fund our campaign today.
