Canada, Brazil and Norway.<\/a> <\/p>\nOpportunity to show climate leadership<\/p>\n
\u201cIn light of the ongoing energy crisis, this conference is vital for developing energy security and access for the UK and our allies, and a key opportunity for the UK to demonstrate its climate leadership,” the letter says.<\/p>\n
Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers in Britain, is among the signatories who also include representatives of the Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Anglican, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu communities. <\/p>\n
It calls on the UK to commit its fair share of funding for a transition that is “fast, fair, and funded.”<\/p>\n
Ed Miliband himself observed last autumn that: \u201cWe are up against the march of time and massive global forces that would slow down or stop action. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn the face of this opposition, multilateralism is our best hope.”<\/p>\n
The faith leaders wrote: \u201cYour words encouraged us […and] we encourage you to put them into action with fellow climate leaders in Santa Marta.”<\/p>\n
Signatories wrote: “It is love that compels us,” adding \u201cWe must act quickly and phase out the production of fossil fuels, with justice and equity for those already assaulted by climate impacts.”<\/p>\n
The UK are planning to send a delegation and take part in the talks, but without ministers.<\/p>\n
The signatories also request a meeting with civil servants and the special representative on climate to share faith community perspectives on the transition.<\/p>\n
