ALL I want for Christmas is you - to take action, Stourbridge climate change campaigners have told Prime Minister David Cameron in a giant Christmas card.

Members of Transition Stourbridge and Dudley Green Party were among eco campaigners who turned out in Stourbridge town centre on Saturday (November 28) to urge people to sign a super sized greeting card to Mr Cameron urging the Government to take a strong stance at the UN Paris Climate Conference.

The card, which calls for clean, community-owned renewable energy schemes to replace fossil fuels, was a reminder that environment campaigners "expect strong and binding commitments" to be made at the COP21 summit where more than 190 nations have gathered to discuss global plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Susan Jones, of Transition Stourbridge, said: "The COP21 talks in Paris are vital as we have to change now how we do business, how we make things and how we consume.

"It's a long term goal to change our behaviour for the sake of our children's lives and for all the people and animals that live on Earth whose very existence are at stake.

"We feel so strongly that the Earth is in a perilous position, 2015 has been the hottest year on record. We need to act now to limit the CO2 emissions from carbon dioxide which is driving temperature rises across the planet."

She said Saturday's Card for Cameron event yielded an "incredible reception from people in Stourbridge".

Vicky Duckworth, of Dudley Green Party, added: "It was a fun way of putting over a serious point about the dangers of climate change; 234 people sent a message from Stourbridge asking our government to take climate change seriously and safeguard our future. It's now up to David Cameron and our MPs to not just listen, but act."

In total 1,141 signatures were gathered at signings across the region - all of which were organised by Climate Action West Midlands, an informal network of groups and individuals campaigning for the environment.

All the cards were then delivered to Downing Street the following day during a climate change rally in London.

Mr Cameron has insisted a satisfactory agreement is "doable" and he told the conference yesterday: "We all know exactly what is needed to make a good deal in Paris."

He said an agreement must have a "binding legal mechanism" and "a five-year review so we can see how we are doing".

Mr Cameron also wants to see a "deal for the poorest and most vulnerable in terms of finance" and that "transfers technology from the richest countries to the poorest countries".

Stourbridge MP Margot James said: "I wholeheartedly support the Prime Minister’s ambitions for a new, historic deal.

"Climate change is one of the biggest issues facing the world today. In the UK, we are on target to cut our emissions by 80 per cent of 1990 levels by 2050.

"But more needs to be done, and the Paris summit is a tremendous opportunity – the largest gathering of heads of state ever – for a new agreement to tackle climate change."
