Climate Change And The Poor

EDM number 2206 in 2005-06, proposed by Diane Abbott on 17/05/2006.

That this House notes with the greatest concern that climate change is now seriously threatening development goals for billions of the world's poorest people and that recent efforts to reduce poverty will be in vain if urgent action is not taken; is disturbed by the findings of a new Christian Aid report, The Climate of Poverty: Facts, Fears and Hope, in particular that 182 million people in sub-Saharan Africa could die of disease directly attributable to climate change by the end of the century; further notes that many millions more throughout the world face death and devastation due to climate-induced floods, famine, drought and conflict; and calls on the Government to lead rich countries in taking urgent action to curb global warming by revolutionising development thinking and to aid poor regions in developing renewable energy to power a new, and clean, era of prosperity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 71 MPs.
