What CJC Supports As a coalition of local organizations sharing a common goal of responding to the threat of global climate change with effectiveness, immediacy, integrity and justice, we urge you to attend this meeting and to support immediate and widespread local action in the following areas:

Position on Carbon Trading We have less than 10 years to reverse climate change and
avert global catastrophe. Climate Justice Chicago believes that, as a
society, we are wasting valuable time, research and investment dollars
with attempts to redesign failed pollution trading systems.
We believe
that dollars funneled into making a carbon market work could be better
spent investing in PROVEN and currently available technologies
such as wind power, solar energy, geothermal energy and public transit.
We need to: Regulate the polluters and move away from a fossil-fuel based
economy. Invest in a genuine transition to a clean energy economy. Provide worker-transition assistance and green jobs training.
Mitigate the disproportionate effects of climate change on people of
color, indigenous communities, and low-income populations.
