Campaigning organisations
There are a large number of organisations working to raise awareness of climate change. Some have been set up specifically to address this issue. Other large agencies now include this issue as a key part of their work. Many existing campaigns have an environmental rather than a human rights or moral focus. There are many worthwhile organisations that would benefit from your support.
One issue is that new organisations, often with a local focus, continue to spring up, which may reduce the overall national and indeed international focus, unless effective networking exists. The Stop Climate Chaos is a coalition bringing organisations together.

Your information tips and comments
I heard about this campaign on the radio this morning and thought I should share it:http://www.closethedoor.org.uk/Sounds like a good local activity that could be used to good effect.
Just before Christmas Leeds Bradford Airport submitted a planning application that would permit a major increase in passenger numbers, and therefore flights, and consequently climate change emissions! That application is due to be decided by Leeds City Council in March.
