SEND TO GORDON!


Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP
Prime Minister
10 Downing Street, London
SW1A 2AA

Dear Prime Minister,

RE: Attend the UN Summit in Copenhagen

On 7-18 December, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 15) will take a place in Copenhagen. COP 15 will hopefully be a crucial milestone in achieving a fair and binding global climate treaty.

While I admire and support Mr. Ed Miliband's efforts to encourage the UK to becoming carbon neutral, I strongly believe it is essential for our Prime Minister to attend the COP 15 summit. With negotiations off track, a strong deal at the final climate treaty summit can only be determined if top politicians with real power are prepared to negotiate. So far, no dealer from the world's richest and most powerful countries had committed to attend.

Climate change is already severely impacting upon the daily lives of thousands of people, and young adults everywhere are one of the key stakeholder groups who will inherit global problems. We need coherent solutions and smart strategies which can be agreed upon by all G8 members and require a higher level of awareness. A fair, ambitious and binding global treaty is our best hope of shifting every single country toward green jobs, energy efficiency, more sustainable lifestyles and clean power. Climate change impacts various issues across the world, including poverty, environmental degradation and the economy, therefore as this issue affects me, your decision will determine how I vote at the next election.

I believe that this summit could launch a historic shift towards a clean-energy, green-recovery future that leaves the climate safer for future generations at an international level. I call upon you, an important member of the G8, to attend the climate change summit and urge the G8 to reach a binding contract to secure our future.

I urge you to show leadership alongside other countries and participate as our head of government in demonstrating the demands of young adults in creating a fair, just and reasonable strategy at COP 15. Your attendance if critical if we are to reach a global treaty.

Thank you for your time.

Yours Sincerely,

YOUR NAME
