Humanity’s last stand against climate change – this generation’s duty – Ban Ki Moon

climate-posterWe are the last generation that can fight climate change. We have a duty to act   Guardian 12 Jan 15  After a year of global turmoil, the UN and international community must work harder than ever for a sustainable future “……..Climate action took on significant momentum with major announcements by the EU, the US and China, and a successful climate conference in Lima, Peru, that kept complex negotiations on track.
