WTO gambling with livelihoods and environment

12 December, 2005

On the eve of the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) 6th Ministerial meeting in Hong Kong, environment and anti-poverty campaigners have delivered a statement to Prime Minister Tony Blair, demanding the government reject any deal that continues to allow big businesses to compound poverty and environmental degradation. The deal on the table at the WTO, they say, reneges on government promises in both areas, taking international trade in the wrong direction. [2]

Ken's vision for a low carbon London

Watch excerpts from Ken's speech.

It's the capital of the UK, the biggest energy demand centre in the country and the largest city in Europe. And it can slash its CO2 emissions, gas consumption and reliance on fossil fuels without nuclear power.

That was London Mayor Ken Livingstone's message when he laid out his vision for a low carbon London at a Greenpeace Business lecture in March 2006. The mayor called for the government to invest in decentralised energy (DE) instead of wasting taxpayers' money on nuclear power - "the failed technology of the past".

Tony Blair: You've got mail

Last edited 19 March 2003 at 9:00am

The Greenpeace web team hand-delivered almost 8,000 email messages to Tony Blair's office at No. 10 Downing Street this week.

We believe internet users have the right to send the Prime Minister an email - especially when it concerns an issue as serious as the war on Iraq.

Since Tony Blair doesn't have an email address, we set one up for him (Tony.Blair@uk.greenpeace.org). Thousands of people used this address to urge the Prime Minister not to go to war.
