International advocacy group Global Citizen has launched a global campaign around ending extreme poverty in the fight for climate change. Save Tomorrow campaign was announced during the Global Citizen NOW action summit in New York last week. Co-chaired by Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, Power our Planet is a global effort to mobilise critical financing for developing countries to fight climate change and extreme poverty. Global Citizen explains the finance gap figure: “In 2009, wealthy nations promised to allocate $100 billion annually in climate financing by 2020 as part of the Paris Agreement. Hugh Evans, Co-founder and Global Citizen CEO said increasing inequality and climate change is threatening to undo a generation’s progress on ending extreme poverty and push millions more people into oppression that is entirely preventable.
