O Negócio que nós Precisamos
In December world leaders will meet in Copenhagen to decide our destiny. We call on our leaders to go to Copenhagen and sign a global climate deal that is:
Fair
- Reduce developed country emissions by at least 40% by 2020.
- Enable and support poor countries to adapt to the worst consequences of the climate crisis, reduce their emissions and ensure technology sharing including through the provision of sufficient public funds.
- Protect marginalized communities in rich and poor countries.
Ambitious
- Ensure that global greenhouse emissions peak no later than 2017 and then decline steeply on a pathway to ensure concentrations at less than 350ppm in the atmosphere as soon as possible.
- Create a pathway to clean jobs and clean energy for all.
- Establish necessary conditions for a sustainable and prosperous future for people, flora and fauna.
Binding
- Agree to a legally binding international agreement that can be verified and enforced.
See below our Chair, Kumi Naidoo, discuss what is at stake in Copenhagen, and what a fair, ambitious, and binding climate deal will do for the world.
