Action

Help us ensure that climate action is funded in Scotland

27 October 2011

Scotland has a world-leading climate change act with ambitious but achievable targets to reduce carbon emissions by 2020 and 2050. But these can only be achieved if public money finances our transition to a low carbon society.

In order to meet the first target, eight years from now, the next Scottish budget must properly fund action to cut Scotland’s carbon emissions.

As the next budget is being prepared, WDM Scotland is working with Stop Climate Chaos Scotland on a campaign to make sure that public funding for action on climate change is given priority.

Building a European movement to tackle food speculation

6 July 2011

Heidi Chow, food campaigner

For the last year, WDM has been leading the UK campaign to get new rules introduced to tackle food speculation. We've been focusing our efforts on exposing the role of banks, like Barclays, in driving up food prices and we've been mobilising public pressure to get the UK government to support effective regulation on food speculation.

Stop banks betting on food: email UK chancellor George Osborne

5 April 2011

Hands tearing at a piece of bread

Betting on food prices in financial markets is a scandal: while millions face hunger and poverty, bankers are reaping huge profits from driving high food prices.

The European commission has proposed plans to regulate food speculation. But George Osborne and the UK government are resisting the new legislation.

'The greenest government ever'?

16 March 2011

The Committee on Climate Change has recently recommended that the Government reduce the UK’s carbon pollution by 60% by 2030. The government is currently considering its response. Fears abound that this advice may well slip by unnoticed, making it critical that Cameron is reminded of his promises, and made aware that we will hold him to account on his words. Please take a few minutes to join us, and other Stop Climate Chaos members, in making sure Cameron knows we won’t stand by and let empty promises go unnoticed on this.
