Pourquoi nous devons être unis pour combattre le changement climatique

A statement by Friends of the Earth International calling for a people-led energy transition to combat the climate emergency, arguing that the Paris Agreement is insufficient and that fossil fuels, nuclear power, and large hydroelectric dams must be replaced by community-centered energy systems.

• The document asserts that the 2017 climate emergency is driven primarily by fossil fuels, noting that devastating natural disasters occurred with only a one-degree temperature increase, while the Paris Agreement allows for a warming of at least 3 to 4 degrees.
• The fossil fuel industry continues to expand despite being obsolete, with over 1,600 new coal plants planned or under installation across 62 countries. The document highlights Indonesia as an example of a country suffering from the harmful effects of coal.
• The text identifies several non-fossil energy sources as 'false solutions' due to their environmental and social impacts. Nuclear energy is described as dangerous and expensive, citing the Hinkley C plant's budget overrun of 1.5 billion pounds and a 15-month delay. Large hydroelectric dams are criticized for causing land appropriation, threatening food sovereignty, and emitting nearly one billion tonnes of greenhouse gases annually from decomposing vegetation.
• The document argues for a just transition where developed nations take responsibility for emissions, noting that 10% of the global population is responsible for 50% of emissions, while the poorest 50% are responsible for only 10%.
• Grassroots action has successfully led to fracking bans in several regions, including the state of Victoria in Australia, New York state, Ireland, France, Scotland, Bulgaria, and certain Canadian provinces.
