Christmas Card from Poland
December 10th, 2008 | by Andrea PereraAn Oxfam activist shows a “Stop Harming – Start Helping” Christmas card delivered to UN Climate negotiators meeting right now in Poznan, Poland.
Oxfam is campaigning in Poznan for funding to help poor communities around the world become stronger in the face of climate change. They have the knowledge and the skills. They just need the funding to: plant protective barriers of mangroves around their coastlines, build cereal banks to store food, establish early warning systems for storms and floods, and fortify existing infrastructure like bridges and roads.
