who are we
Launched on 1 September 2005 Stop Climate Chaos (a registered charity) aims to be the broadest and most diverse coalition yet established within the UK to campaign for changes to government policy on climate change. Its growing membership – which includes many of the UK’s leading environmental organisations, international development agencies and other national campaigning bodies – aims to build irresistible public pressure on the UK Government to act at home and abroad to prevent global warming from exceeding the widely-accepted danger threshold of 2 deg. C.
In October 2006 the coalition launched its I Count mass public campaign. This has inspired thousands of people to take action against climate change and is the coalition's prime vehicle for engaging the public. To read the coalition's latest updates and find out what you can do, click here.
