ACTION HUB: Achieve the BAM!
Last autumn, tens of thousands of us helped win a big step forward at the UN climate talks. After pressure from campaigners, the UK backed the Belém Action Mechanism (BAM), a plan to make the shift from fossil fuels fairer so no one is left behind.
But progress is on the line – and we need to take action now to achieve the BAM!
The BAM is about making sure this transition delivers real benefits for people − like affordable clean energy and secure, well-paid jobs.
Now, on 8 June, governments from around the world are meeting in Bonn to decide how it will work. But progress is on the line. There’s a risk that some richer countries will try to water down the agreement, weakening it and undoing the progress made last year.
Together, we got Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to back the BAM. We now need him to stand firm and keep supporting a strong and ambitious agreement. Email Ed Miliband and ask him to continue supporting a strong Belém Action Mechanism Mechanism, for a fairer transition away from fossil fuels.
