Join the EP Global Leader 2009 award. Nominate your leader.

Environmental Parliament has asked world leaders to go to Copenhagen and fight to reach a just and equitable climate deal.
So far only 17 leaders have accepted the Environment Parliament challenge. Yet the Environmental Parliament will award this December
13th in Copenhagen, the ENVIRONMENTAL PARLIAMENT GLOBAL LEADER 2009
AWARD. - A Merit award of Global Leadership in International Relations
for ''Being in Copenhagen'' and working Internationally towards a just
climate deal. The leader with the greatest aspirational impact on
reductions of CO2 emission globally will win the EP Global Leader 2009
award. After all the carbon in the atmosphere is everywhere the same.

 Take the pledge: Start Your very own Environmental Parliament
campaign here with the name of your country and sign people up with
the intent of lobbying and signing up your leader to a simple pledge:
"Be in Copenhagen''. Nominate your country leader and ask other
environment activists to sign up for the campaign and lobby your
leaders. The more people support one leader the greatest their chances
of winning the award of EP Global Leader 2009.

The Nominees are the only elected global leaders, who committed to
''Be in Copenhagen.''

Listing priority is based solely upon the time of their pledge:

1) President Nicolas Sarkozy - France

2) President Mohamed Nasheed - Maldives

3) Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam - Mauritius

4) President Manuel Baroso -  European Union

5) Prime Minister George Papandreou - Greece

6) President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva - Brazil

7) Chancellor Angela Merkel - Germany

8) Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi - Italy

9) Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama - Japan

10) President Felipe Calderón - Mexico

11) President Dmitry Medvedev - Russia

12) Prime Minister Gordon Brown - Great Britain

13) President Rafael Correa - Equador

14) President Lee Myung-bak - South Korea

15) President Jacob Zuma - South Africa

16) President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono - Indonesia

17) Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan - Turkey

18) President Obama - USA

The group of PMs bellow are the stand out ones we lobby to ''Be in
Copenhagen'' for a successful summit that will bring us a fair
agreement. They are crucially important to 'Be in Copenhagen' if we
are to get an effective deal. Like Climate Prima Donnas they want to
arrive in Copenhagen only if they are ensured of a success - Therefore
please work and lobby hard to get them to pledge on the EP campaign
''Be in Copenhagen''. Being there will ensure a real deal. Success has
many fathers. So let them father for us, a great happy deal. But first
they got to show up. So ''Be in Copenhagen''.

President Obama is the most likely one to arrive early in Copenhagen
as he will be in Scandinavia on the same time for the Nobel Prize. A
short hop to Copenhagen is his duty to the world.  Obama can deliver a
deal for all - We believe He will. But only if the rest of the world's
leaders are there as willing participants to a fair climate deal.
Bellow are the hold outs that need to be swayed and moved:

Argentina: President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner

Australia: Prime Minister Kevin Rudd

Canada: Prime Minister Stephen Harper

China: President Hu Jintao

India: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh

United States: President Barack Obama


It would be vitally important to lobby also your local leaders bellow,
to join the campaign of EP  ''Be in Copenhagen" and to live up to
their commitment ''Be in Copenhagen''. The greater the number of
Premieres there - the greater the chances of a deal. A well attended
Climate Bazaar is the best reward for all.... and the best chance for
a good deal. Show your initiative here.

Take the pledge: Start Your very own Environmental Parliament campaign
here with the name of your country and sign people up with the intent
of lobbying and signing up your leader to a simple pledge: "Be in
Copenhagen''. Nominate your country leader and ask others to sign up
for them. The more people support one leader the greatest their
chances of winning the award of EP Global Leader 2009.


Please lobby your local leaders bellow to come to ''Be in Copenhagen".
