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

A statement by Friends of the Earth International calling for a radical systemic overhaul of global energy, food, political, and economic systems to prevent global warming from exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius. The document argues that current incremental measures and 'false solutions' are insufficient and that a transition to decentralized, people-led renewable energy is necessary to achieve climate justice.

• The document warns of a 'Hothouse Earth' scenario where, even if temperature increases are stabilized at 2 degrees, the planet could pass a point of no return, leading to the sudden release of carbon and methane from forests, permafrost, and oceans, rendering parts of the Earth uninhabitable.
• Current energy trends contradict climate goals, with over 1,600 new coal plants planned or under installation across 62 countries, and a projected 58% increase in European gas imports due to new conventional gas plants.
• The organization rejects 'false solutions' and risky, untested technologies such as Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), which it claims distract from real solutions and may cause further environmental catastrophes.
• Large hydroelectric dams are categorized as polluting energies because they contribute to land grabbing, undermine food sovereignty, and emit nearly one billion tons of greenhouse gases annually from rotting vegetation.
• Climate injustice is highlighted by the fact that 10% of the global population is responsible for 50% of emissions, while the poorest 50% are responsible for only 10%.
• A just transition requires developed Northern countries to reduce emissions to zero as quickly as possible, stop new fossil fuel projects, and provide significant financial transfers to Southern countries to fund their sustainable development.
• The document advocates for a decentralized energy system based on community control of clean sources like wind and solar, citing successful examples in Scotland, Denmark, Palestine, and Ireland.
