FICHA INFORMATIVA AMIGOS DA TERRA ACTUALIZAÇÃO SOBRE EQUIDADE
Summary
The document defines climate equity as the fair sharing of the global carbon budget, emphasizing that developed countries bear a 'historical responsibility' due to their past emissions and resource exploitation. It advocates for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C, which requires an immediate revolution in energy, food, and transport systems. The text calls for a 'system change' over mere climate change, proposing a transition away from neoliberalism and fossil fuels toward community-controlled renewable energy and agroecology, while urging the UN to enforce equitable responsibility among nations.
Key insights
- Climate equity requires that developed countries implement more significant emission reductions than others because they have historically over-consumed the atmospheric space and exploited resources from developing nations, creating a 'climate and ecological debt'.
- To maintain a global temperature increase below 1.5°C, an immediate revolution in the production and consumption of energy, food, and transport is necessary, as the average temperature has already risen by 0.8°C and a further 0.6°C increase is considered inevitable by scientists.
- Developed nations should reduce domestic emissions at the source, provide funding for adaptation and loss and damage, and share technology and skills without imposing intellectual property rights or patents that hinder access for developing countries.
- The document advocates for a total systemic transformation—'system change, not climate change'—which includes ending neoliberalism, stopping deforestation, adopting agroecology, and transitioning to community-controlled clean energy instead of corporate-led models.
- The 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) establishes that developed countries must take the lead in mitigation and provide financial resources and technology transfers to enable developing countries to take necessary actions.
