Summary
Climate change has increasingly gained
political and public attention in the last months. While many environmental
NGOs have been working on climate change for many years in many industrialised
countries, development NGOs are relatively new in this field. However,
they more and more feel the concrete impacts of climate change in their
projects. In turn, this has led to an increased political awareness with
regard to climate policies. As a consequence, broader civil society alliances
including environmental, development, faith-based and other types of organisations
have been developed in a number of industrialised countries in the past
two to three years. This paper gives an overview of these developments
and presents the basic political demands of these alliances.
