Nous devons réclamer un nouveau système énergétique international qui convienne aux gens et à la planète

Friends of the Earth International calls for an immediate transition from a pollutant-heavy energy system to a decentralized, people-led model. The statement rejects 'false solutions' like carbon capture and argues that developed nations must take primary responsibility for emissions reductions and financial transfers to the Global South to ensure a just transition.

• The document warns that if global temperatures stabilize at 2 degrees Celsius, the planet could reach a point of no return known as 'Hothouse Earth', where forests, permafrost, and oceans release stored carbon and methane, potentially making parts of the Earth uninhabitable.
• Despite climate dangers, fossil fuel expansion continues, with over 1,600 new coal plants planned or under construction across 62 countries, and a projected 58% increase in European gas imports via new conventional plants.
• The author identifies several 'polluting energies' beyond fossil fuels that must be eliminated, specifically nuclear power—currently being planned in countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, Ghana, Nigeria, Paraguay, and Chile—and large hydroelectric dams, which emit nearly one billion tonnes of greenhouse gases annually from rotting vegetation.
• The document rejects 'false solutions' and technological fixes, such as Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), describing them as risky, untested, and distractions from the necessary radical systemic change.
• A viable alternative is proposed based on decentralized, community-led energy generation using wind and solar, combined with agroecology and community forest management, citing examples of such control in Scotland, Denmark, Palestine, and Ireland.
• Climate justice requires a redistribution of responsibility: 10% of the global population is responsible for 50% of emissions, while the poorest 50% are responsible for only 10%. Consequently, Northern countries must reach zero emissions rapidly and provide significant funding to the Global South for sustainable development.
