ActionAid Challenges G8 on Response to Food Crisis
Leaders of the Group of Eight industrialized nations meet in Hokaido, Japan, from July 7-9. The failure of G8 policies on food, biofuels, and climate change places up to 1.7 billion people – 25% of the world’s population – at risk of hunger. ActionAid makes recommendations to G8 leaders in our new report, “Cereal Offenders: How the G8 has Contributed to the Global Food Crisis and What They Can Do to Stop It.”
ActionAid Makes Recommendations to UN Climate Adaptation Fund
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change estimates that approximately US $67 billion a year is needed for developing countries to adapt to climate change. Only a small fraction of those funds have been raised. Moreover, the existing mechanisms for adaptation funding do not meet ActionAid’s criteria of democratic governance, sustainable and compensatory funding, and access to the most vulnerable communities.
Climate Equity Campaign - Speakers Tour
Climate change threatens countries across the globe with droughts, flooding, and famine. Bold and immediate US leadership could help reduce worst impacts. ActionAid invites you to meet civil-society leaders from Nigeria and Indonesia to learn why the next US president must take action on climate change.
Adaptation Funding
Climate Change, without question, is one of the most critical global challenges of this century. If we don’t take action now, millions of people will be affected by food shortages and climate-related disasters. ActionAid’s rights-based approach and more than three decades of experience have positioned us to take a strong lead in responding to this challenge. We ask you to join us in this fight.
Climate Change
The poorest countries in the world are hit first and worst by the impacts of climate change. While the richest countries in the world produce a disproportionate amount of the carbon emissions that cause global warming, poor countries are dealing with the droughts and floods that result. Learn more about Climate Change and how it relates to the growing inequity among rich and poor nations.
