Climate Change and Global Justice

World Development Movement

Climate change campaigner Ricardo Navarro from El Salvador is to tour Britain speaking on how climate change is affecting poor communities around the world.

Wealthy countries like Britain bear most responsibility for climate change, but it's the developing world that will bear the brunt of the impact.
 
In 1995 Ricardo received the Goldman award, the Green equivalent of the Nobel prize. He says "the struggle for the environment is the struggle for our own survival - we cannot afford not to get involved."
 
Ricardo Navarro founded CESTA (the Salvadorian Centre for Appropriate Technology) and is a former Chair of Friends of the Earth International.
 
The tour is organised by anti-poverty campaigners the World Development Movement, who are calling for urgent action by the UK government to tackle climate change and end climate injustice.
