Tenemos que exigir un nuevo sistema energético internacional que beneficie a los pueblos y el planeta

A statement by Friends of the Earth International calling for a radical systemic change in global energy, food, political, and economic systems to limit global warming to 1.5°C and achieve climate justice.

• The document warns that exceeding a 1.5°C temperature increase poses severe risks and that current commitments under the Paris Agreement could lead to a 4°C increase, potentially triggering irreversible tipping points where forests, permafrost, and oceans release stored carbon and methane.
• Despite climate risks, the document notes that over 1,600 new coal-fired power plants are planned or under construction across 62 countries, and the European Union is projected to increase its gas import capacity by 58%.
• The organization identifies 'dirty energy' as including not only fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas, fracking, oil sands) but also nuclear energy and large-scale hydroelectric projects, the latter of which are cited for causing land grabbing and emitting approximately one billion tons of greenhouse gases annually through decaying vegetation in reservoirs.
• Friends of the Earth International rejects 'false solutions'—unproven, profit-driven technological fixes—such as Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), which it claims are dangerous distractions from real solutions.
• The document advocates for energy sovereignty through decentralized, community-led energy systems based on clean sources like wind and solar, citing successful examples in Scotland, Denmark, Palestine, and Ireland.
• The statement emphasizes a climate justice framework where the Global North, responsible for the majority of emissions, must reduce emissions to zero as quickly as possible, stop financing fossil fuel extraction in the Global South, and provide significant financial flows to the Global South for a just transition.
