It's up to U Now - message to delegates Climate Change Conference

With just three days left to the conference closes, Oxfam blitzed delegates at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali, with a special photographic exhibition and calendar called "It's up to UNow".

The photos, are messages from people in developing countries, who are already having to adapt and live with the impacts of climate change, as well as people from rich countries, who are taking personal action to reduce their contribution to climate change. Take a look at all of the photo messages on our Flickr profile.

Today, they are coming together to send a clear message to delegates at this conference, to do all they can to ensure that the interests of people living in poverty are put at the heart of any decisions and outcomes from Bali.

Quite simply, they are telling delegates "It's up to UNow".

We have given delegates a chance to show their support to Fight Climate Poverty, by having their photo taken, so it can be added to the exhibition. More updates on who took the challenge later.

Shahanara, from Bangladesh (pictured above) stood in flood water near the camp she has been staying at for five months since her house was destroyed in the floods in the village of Puteakhal. She said "I have raised my home and my husband is trying to work in the market. What else can we do. We have no option now". Read more from Shahanara, and other stories and messages on our flickr pages.

Worldwide lending

Worldwide lending organization for the very poor
featured and cleared by CNBC. You join with
thousands of others. Say a poor person needs
$1200.00 to buy poultry to start a poultry farm in Africa.
You determine how much you want to LOAN, typically a
two year loan. Say you loan $50.00 (small or large
loans), others loan the rest.

So far pay back is 90%. It’s for any enterprise the poor
person may want to start, a restaurant, a pig farm,
jewelry making, etc. The KIVA organization monitors,
makes sure the business enterprise is viable.
