Stop Climate Chaos Rio Action is asking people to email their MP to support the Rio-UK Declaration – when I emailed Craig Whitaker, the Stop Climate Chaos website showed that he hasn’t yet done this.

Rio+20 is the global forum for countries to commit to new actions to reduce and adapt to climate change. OK, the original Rio Earth Summit hasn’t achieved what it needed to, but without it climate change would probably be worse than it is. It’s important not to give up on international cooperation and commitment.
