Climate negotiations in Bali are in crisis. Things were looking good till now: near-consensus on a delicate deal, including 2020 targets for rich countries, in return for which China and the developing world would do their part over time. IPCC scientists say such targets are needed to prevent catastrophe. But Japan, the US and Canada are banding together to wreck the deal, and the rest of the world is starting to waver...
We can’t let three stubborn governments throw away the planet's future. We have until the end of Friday to do everything we can. Please sign our emergency global petition below -- we'll deliver it through stunts at the summit, a full-page ad in the Jakarta Post read by all the delegates (see below, right), and directly to negotiators to stiffen their nerve against any bad compromise. Add your name to the campaign below now!

GetUp is calling for a detailed and strengthened climate change response which will keep us below the 2 degree threshold - the temperature rise that experts agree we must stay beneath in order to avoid dangerous climate change.
The decisions that are made in Bali will to a large extent determine whether dangerous climate change can be prevented or not.
The conference, which brings together international leaders under a UN Framework, is designed to launch two years of negotiations for the post 2012 period agreement. An emissions trajectory post 2012 should be based on the Kyoto architecture, seeing developed countries reduce emissions by 25 to 40% below 1990 levels by 2020, with a common but differentiated approach for developing countries. Australia has significant role to play in making this a reality.
