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.
