*Another vigil by candlelight for climate change*

 

*2009/12/11 *

*Guy Rogers ENVIRONMENT & TOURISM EDITOR*

 

A SECOND candlelight vigil in support of a meaningful deal at the Copenhagen

climate change summit has been scheduled for Victoria Park in Port Elizabeth

tomorrow evening.

 

Like the event organised for Schoenmakerskop, anyone interested in the

issues should bring themselves, family and friends as well as a torch or

candle each. The rendezvous time is 5.30pm.

 

Dusty Brennan, of the international activist group Avaaz, who is co-

ordinating the event in Victoria Park (near the VP schools) said the two

Port Elizabeth vigils would be part of a network of similar events staged

simultaneously in 130 countries.

 

“Millions of citizens and hundreds of organisations are calling for a

three-point ‘real deal’ to be reached in Copenhagen. The three-point deal

has been endorsed by every major global environmental group including 350

(which is behind the Schoenies event), Avaaz, Oxfam, Greenpeace and WWF as

well as hundreds of other civil society, religious and eco-groups.”

 

The three points referred to a “fair” deal with R14-billion funding for

poorer countries to help them deal with climate change, an “ambitious” deal

with a 2015 carbon emissions peak and a safe carbon level of 350 parts per

million, plus a “binding” deal that was legally enforceable, Brennan

explained.

 

The lead event in Copenhagen will be hosted by South African Nobel laureate

Bishop Desmond Tutu and former UN Human Rights Commissioner Mary Robinson

outside the negotiation headquarters.
