Response to News Obama Will Go to Copenhagen

WASHINGTON

Friends of the Earth President Erich Pica had the
following response to news that U.S. President Barack Obama will travel
to Copenhagen in December to participate in international climate
negotiations:

"Solving the climate crisis requires leadership from the United States,
but thus far, the Obama administration has pushed for a weak and unfair
agreement. The President needs to do more than just show up; he must
ensure that the United States promotes real solutions, including
stronger emissions reduction targets and funding for developing
countries to deal with climate impacts and transition to clean energy
economies."

Friends of the Earth fights for a more healthy and just world. Together we speak truth to power and expose those who endanger the health of people and the planet for corporate profit. We organize to build long-term political power and campaign to change the rules of our economic and political systems that create injustice and destroy nature.
