This June, 20 years on from the Earth Summit in Rio de Janiero, Brazil in 1992, government representatives from around the world are meeting at a ‘Rio+20’ summit to discuss sustainable development.
Stop Climate Chaos Cymru is gearing up for The Rio Connection, a week of action across the UK, in the run up to the summit. 16-22 June, grassroots networks will be holding Rio-themed events with their elected representatives to connect local, national and global sustainability issues, inspire new people to talk about sustainability and encourage MPs, Welsh Assembly Members and MSPs to sign up to a sustainable future.
Interested in getting involved? Organise a Brazilian coffee morning? Rio carnival? Film screening? Photo exhibition? Football match?

With the UN Climate Talks in Durban beginning today it’s time for a strong message to be sent from Wales. African Climate Connection events have been happening around the country, and now it’s time for us to have our very own.
Tues 29th November at 12.30pm
Steps of the Senedd in Cardiff Bay
With African musicians and a photo-call with media, the event will be a chance for Assembly Members to join supporters and organisations from across Wales to share our concerns.
SCC Cymru is calling on world leaders to:
- Help the poorest countries adapt and develop in a sustainable way through the Green Climate Fund
- Agree a new legally binding treaty to reduce emissions with sufficient urgency to keep warming below 2C
Join Stop Climate Chaos Cymru to send a strong message from Wales to Durban.

The countdown has begun. With 20 days left until the UN Climate Talks (28th November-9th December) in Durban begin– the first ever to be held in Africa- grassroots groups are gathering to hold African-themed events around Wales and the UK. These events, which include African parties, lunches, and film showings, will connect the communities of Wales with each other and with international climate politics. They will also show the strength of local concern about climate change.

There is an important vote taking place in the European Parliament tomorrow, Thursday June 23rd on climate change. The vote is to support a stronger 30% target for emissions cuts.
We have heard today that many Conservative MEPs are considering voting against the 30% target, despite the Coalition Government backing it.
