DECLARATION ON CLIMATE CHANGE
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, call upon the world's political and corporate leaders
to take immediate action to prevent seriously disruptive climate change.
Evidence of human impact upon the Earth's climate is now irrefutable. We
have emitted enough greenhouse gases into the atmosphere to commit the
climate to change. If we carry on as we are, we can expect a rapidly worsening
situation that - because of the long life of emissions in the atmosphere
- will continue for centuries to come. Within a global trend of rising
temperatures that could reach levels in the next century that our species
has never previously experienced, our climate will become more and more
unstable, marked by extreme and unseasonal weather.
Such climatic destabilisation will have dire consequences for every
part of the world, every sector of society and every aspect of our lives.
Our health and food supplies will be affected dramatically by increased
droughts, heat-waves and the spread of disease-bearing insects and pests
in response to rising temperatures. Agricultural land and our towns and
cities will also suffer substantial damage from rising sea-levels, and
increased flooding and violent storms, with huge costs for industry and
ordinary people as their homes and livelihoods are destroyed. The scientists
of the UN's Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change predict that millions
of people worldwide will die and millions of others will become environmental
refugees as a result. The effects of climate change are being felt even
now. Global temperatures are rising at a rate faster than for 10,000 years,
with the 12 hottest years in recorded history occurring since 1980. There
has also been a sharp rise in extreme weather events, with a significant
increase in the last 20 years in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes,
tornadoes, large floods and heat-waves that have left a trail of devastation
to infrastructure and agriculture in their wake.
The extent of climatic destabilisation is likely to be even more
severe than previously thought if greenhouse gas emissions continue to
rise unchecked. As warming increases, vital natural processes upon which
we depend to absorb or contain three-quarters of our greenhouse gas emissions
- such as the carbon dioxide-absorbing function of the world's forests
and oceans - would weaken and even cease to operate. Instead of being net
'sinks', they will become net sources of greenhouse gases.
Hence, if emissions continue to rise unchecked, we risk releasing
billions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere as rising temperatures
trigger a huge die-back of trees, causing billions of acres of South American
rainforest to turn into desert before 2050, the UK Met Office's Hadley
Centre predicts. If this and other positive feedbacks occur - and they
could well do so within the next few decades - we could find ourselves
in a situation of catastrophic, runaway climatic destabilisation.
Yet the political and corporate response to this problem has been
grossly inadequate. To stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations at non-catastrophic
levels, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated in 1990
that greenhouse gas emissions from human sources would have to be reduced
immediately by at least 60 per cent below 1990 levels. At Kyoto, however,
developed countries agreed to a cut of just 5.2 per cent, to be achieved
between 2008 and 2012. Worse, the US Congress has refused to ratify the
US' Kyoto commitment. Even if the Kyoto targets were met, given that developing
countries are under no obligation to prevent their emissions from continuing
to increase, global emissions would rise to 30 per cent above 1990 levels
by 2010.
We deplore the lack of serious political action to address this issue
and we deplore attempts by many large corporations to block meaningful
change. For short-term gain, they seem willing to jeopardise the welfare,
indeed survival, of a large part of humanity.
If catastrophic climate change is to be avoided, we call upon our
governments to take the following action without delay:
Accept the goal of reducing carbon dioxide concentrations in the
atmosphere to 1990 levels - around 550 parts per million by volume (ppmv),
whilst never exceeding 400ppmv. A higher concentration (including that
proposed by the EU of 550ppmv - almost twice the pre-industrial level)
would involve straying into a danger zone of catastrophic climatic instability.
To achieve this goal, a target of 30 years to have cut C02 emissions
by 70-80 per cent below 1990 levels, and 50 years for a near total phase-out
of fossil fuels should be adopted. This is the very minimum that the current
crisis demands. While it may be challenging for many countries, it is the
political will to implement policy options which is the biggest challenge,
not the technological one.
Implement nothing less than a crash programme to meet these targets.
Measures should be put in place to significantly reduce energy use. Our
remaining energy requirements should be met by a combination of existing
renewable energy technologies - quite feasible if invested in sufficiently
and produced on a large enough scale.
Transfer all public subsidies and encourage the transfer of private
investment away from supporting fossil fuels and cars towards supporting
ecologically sustainable renewables and public transport. This applies
in equal measure to loans and investments to developing countries from
the industrialised world and the international financial institutions.
It should be recognised that in developing countries, where dependence
upon fossil fuels is less, it will be far easier to turn rapidly towards
a renewable energy path. Everything should be done, therefore, to enable
this.
Change taxation systems to reflect the need to discourage the use
of fossil fuels and cars.
End the exploration and development of new oil, coal and gas reserves
immediately.
Set in place a far more effective, inclusive and hence equitable
international political mechanism to curb the consumption of fossil fuels
in all countries. The only realistic means proposed so far of achieving
this is a formal global programme of "Contraction and Convergence", as
advocated by GLOBE International (the Global Legislators Organisation for
a Balanced Environment) and by an increasing number of governments in Europe,
Africa and the majority of Southern countries in the so-called Group of
77 and China.
Recognise that the avoidance of serious climate change cannot succeed
without the protection of the planet's natural sinks.
Hence, take immediate action to stop the continued destruction of
the world's remaining forests, particularly tropical rainforests -critical
for the stability of global climate. At the international level, legally-binding
forest protection must be negotiated, even if this requires the provision
of compensation to those countries that possess the principal standing
forests. In developed countries, consumption of wood and wood-derived paper
will have to be reduced by two-thirds. Measures should also be put in place
to ensure massive reforestation, while avoiding monoculture plantations
of fast-growing exotics where possible.
Take immediate action to eliminate all ozone-depleting chemicals
- responsible for a hole in the ozone layer that in 1998 was larger than
ever - and that are still being produced despite the Montreal Protocol.
Also, make the removal of CFCs from all appliances prior to disposal a
legal requirement. Unless this is achieved, the phytoplankton in the oceans,
upon which we depend to absorb carbon dioxide, will continue to be destroyed
by increasing ultraviolet radiation.
Transfer all public subsidies away from supporting industrial agriculture,
which is largely responsible for the unrelenting destruction of our agricultural
soils - another important sink for carbon dioxide - and for substantial
emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. Instead, a rapid
transition to low-impact, ecologically-based organic farming for local
consumption should be promoted.
Reverse the current subordination of ecological and social imperatives
to the short-term interests of corporations and investors and the maximisation
of world trade. Large-scale global trade massively increases the distance
goods are transported, resulting in more greenhouse gas emissions, whilst
simultaneously exerting powerful deregulatory pressures that inhibit governments
from raising environmental standards.
Hence, the provision of subsidies and the signing of treaties that
increase this trend should cease. A change of direction towards the nurturing
of a network of more self-sustaining, local economies and an end to undemocratic
corporate influence on the political process is essential.
Whilst the changes that are required may seem great, we are not calling
upon people to make huge sacrifices. All of the measures that we have outlined,
essential to prevent dangerous climatic disruption, are needed whether
or not our climate is in danger, as they will help solve many of the other
major problems that confront us today, such as unemployment, ill health
and threats to peace.
Implementing these measures will ensure that - more jobs are created
and income saved from the development of new renewable technologies and
from the re-emergence of strong local economies; a vast improvement in
our health takes place with clean air in our cities; greater world security
is achieved as tensions over the control of oil in the Middle East and
elsewhere are diminished; the planet's rainforests, the lungs of the world
and home to 50-80 percent of animal and plant species, are saved from destruction;
greater food security and better health are attained with ecologically
sustainable methods of agriculture.
Whilst avoiding the worst impacts of climate change, our entire quality
of life will also improve. The benefits of such action are clearly huge
and the costs low when compared with the massive costs of inaction which
climatic destabilisation would inevitably inflict. It is for these reasons
that we call upon our political and corporate leaders to face their responsibilities
and take immediate action to protect our climate.
We urge members of the public and all non-governmental organisations
to organise grass roots movements to exert pressure on our governments
to ensure they achieve this goal.
Too much time has already been wasted and it is running out fast.
We cannot wait until major climate catastrophes strike the developed world
and wake us from our slumber - by then it will be too late. We need political
action now. A crash programme is therefore an imperative. We have no alternative.
