We stand strong in solidarity with people of Paris and demand urgent action on climate change to build sustainable peaceful and just society!

Friends of the Earth International argues that failing to stop catastrophic climate change will exacerbate poverty, hunger, and conflict, making just climate action a critical peace-building tool. The organization criticizes the French government's state of emergency for restricting civil liberties and cancelling climate justice mobilizations ahead of the December 2015 UN climate negotiations, while asserting that democratic decision-making must be reclaimed from corporate influence.

• The organization asserts that the agreement resulting from the Paris climate conference is likely to be insufficient to prevent catastrophic climate change, which in turn will increase poverty, hunger, biodiversity loss, and violent conflict.
• The document identifies just action on climate change as the most significant action for building peace and calls for the reversal of corporate capture of democratic decision-making.
• The French government's declaration of a state of emergency following terrorist attacks led to the cancellation of planned climate justice mobilizations scheduled for the UN climate negotiations in early December.
